ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, ukrainian forces make advances in the south, off to russia, announces it is withdrawing from the key city of her son. but keith warns moscow could be preparing to turn cousin into a city of death. also coming up the down side of hosting a un summit in a police state, how egypt is giving protest is that the court climate change talks

a hard time and trying to stop discussion of its own alleged rights abuses and china that it is lifting some covey restrictions including ease in quarantine for travelers. despite a surgeon cases, we'll go to begging to find out what is happening. cloth, netflix releases its latest installment of the crown, a show chronicling the lives of the british royal family. but how wise is it to mix historical facts with dramatic fiction? ah, my manuscripts may can, and thanks for joining us. russia says it has finished pulling out its troops from the western bank of the denise pro river in ukraine's southern sasan region.

however, the kremlin says her son will remain passive russia, despite the withdrawal, the defense ministry says it ordered the retreat to save the lives, the lives of its soldiers. a ukrainian forces are reported to have retaken, at least, 40 villages close to the city, but the ukrainian president brought him is the lensky says the situation there is still difficult with hope of moving closer to the city of her son. the ukrainian flag is flying again in dozens of small towns around the regional capital. over instantly her rifka about 50 kilometers north of her son. people gather to thank soldiers as they enter the city. but not every one here shares their sense of euphoria. whose and it's still very, very scary. when you drive through the region, you see how many villages have been bombed, that her so much destruction of our school is destroyed and not

a single window with lie. all the buildings are shattered, and owner stared wood. for the 1st time since moscow launched its invasion and february guns have fallen silent in this village close to the front line. this man who has been living on humanitarian aid for months has only just heard of the liberation of neighboring nor rifka renewal only with below referral sigma. there is no food or nothing there. i was aimlessly people who are there right now, told me they have no food or nothing. lou, we have to bring them food. garages. little wally been seen. those who have survived the shelling are wondering how they will make it through the winter. all of us. oh, we've had no water supply since the end of february. they are bringing us drinking water to a school. we can bring water from a nearby well with our tractor,

but it's not really drinkable here. the 2 sites keep volleying rockets at each other. so no hoodie, yesterday i was removing leaves and right behind this building. it was terrible. the battle went on with machine guns for weeks. ukrainian forces have been advancing on her son. its loss would leave russia with few territorial gains since the beginning of the war. we can get the very latest from our correspondent nick connelly, his in the ukranian capsule. nick, can you tell us, has ukraine now been able to completely retake lesson that still? i think a few days off the list of the official sources here give are to be believed just yesterday. we're talking about a week. i think that estimate has now been revised down given how chaotic the russian forces have been in their withdrawal. and how much can a panic is still there among russian forces? i think that announcement from the russian defense ministry saying that the

withdrawal had been completed in the allows this morning that there was no russian soldiers or tech left on the ground and saw that they'd all been evacuate for a losses that elicited basically just ridiculous even normally pro kremlin military bloggers let alone ukrainians. there are images on social media of lots of russian destroyed tanks that have been taken by the ukrainians. lots of russian soldiers left behind, seemingly in extreme distress. some we believe hart changing into civilian clothes and i hope they can somehow hide and then kind of sneak their way back to worse and lines. so even though this was something that the russian government planted, the russian government announced they will not be able to carry this out efficiently. this is turned into a fiasco. and one that similarly is going to do a lot of damage to rational mineral and sounds k, r sick. and can you tell us what the ukranian troops are facing as they advance into these areas that were previously occupied by the russians? and there are some pretty stark pictures on ukrainian social media,

just piles of mines that have been recovered from the roads leading towards cat a song. so we believe yet huge numbers of these mines in the roads along the roads or so kinds of booby traps. they are sometimes these are as primitive as just taking a grenade and attaching into a bit of maybe fishing why and putting in the bushes in the expectation that anyone that comes through will then trigger that grenades are. some of these are very primitive and fortunate have a very long lifetime made of plastic that are rust, so they could still pose a danger to civilians in weeks, months and years to come. but then even they do get had a song and the russians are eventually fully pushed out. they still will have the russians to deal with on the other bank of the river who are easily within artillery range and really make life very, very difficult civilians there. i been in touch with the local, a man in hudson bay since be the war. and he said that is his case number one, worst case scenario, having the russians on the other bank of the river taking revenge bessie having the option to turn her son into a numerical if they want to. so

a very difficult weeks ahead. speaking of revenge, i mean russian troops may have withdrawn that russian airstrikes this morning left at least 5 people dead. that's in the city of nikolai, of not too far from her son. so what does this tell us about russia's ability to exact revenge? what's that? that's the kind of crucial issue in all this that while russia is doing really badly in commercial warfare on the battlefield, they are still able to really exact very high price, the ukraine civilian. they still have enough rockets to attack, you know, such as behind the front lines far away from the fighting, let alone play. so in july, which are lot more exposed. and we've seen this tactic time tom again attacking civilians are attacking civilian infrastructure power, which plants to the real sense that russia is not giving up on that strategy and will continue to try and make life as difficult as possible for you brings villains in the hope then they will push their own politicians there, and government to come some going agreement with russia, given how badly things going on the battlefield. russia right now, thanks so much nick, nick connelly reporting from kings and harris. i'm more of the stories making

headlines around the world today. the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly passed a draft resolution highlighting afghanistan's deteriorating situation and setting the stage for increased aid. it also urges the taliban to reverse restrictions on freedoms for women and girls. the latest of which bands, women from parks and gems that was australian and peas, have raised concerns after cyber criminals attacked the country's largest health, ensure a medi bank, they stole $9700000.00 customer records, including those of the countries. prime minister, the data was put on the dark web, exposing details of abortions, drug addiction, and other sensitive health issues. after many bank refused to pay a ransom and activists, the staging protests that the u. n. climate summit in sharm el shake egypt,

u. s. president joe biden is traveling to the summit to day, where he will face prussia to help developing countries reeling from disasters caused by climate change. like climate sonnet has been called to try to avert catastrophe as global warming heads towards dangerous levels. but the human rights record of the host country, egypt is also coming under scrutiny. phillip, particularly the treatment of pro democracy campaigner allah of delta, or he has been jailed for spreading for what? spreading what the authorities alleged to be fake news. some protesters are using the summit as a platform to campaign for his release. and as we report now, the egyptian government is giving them a very hard time. this is what egypt once the world to see a country playing perfect host, to global leaders at the un climate summit,

but on the ground activists say that they are not welcome here. i believe it's completely different. the last climate conference was in glasgow every day. there were 3 protests or near the conference center this year you have to apply for permission to protest of 36 hours in advance. you. it's only open from 10 till 5, and it's under heavy surveillance. some say they are also being closely monitored. many activities order information was taken. so we were like, how are we good to start? something with these people are already throwing us good. now do you know? oh, we arrested. the spotlight has also been shown on human rights abuses, particularly egypt, where there are many political prisoners. among them is the egyptian,

british pro democracy activists, ala abdel fattah scene. here in 2013. he's been on hunger strike since april. hope that one day we can repay sister has been at the summit fighting for his freedom or support. this is a long despite an attempt by some, including an egyptian law maker to stop her leave without situations of egypt had hoped, climate would be the main focus that caught 27. 03 . instead its own human rights record is overshadowing this summit. oh, d w report i abraham joins me now in the studio for more on this story. hi i now it's been 6 days. we know that allah abdel fatah says that he stop drinking water or

taking in any calories. can you tell us any more about the situation or the current state of his health? what we know? well, the information that we have is an information that we have from his family. they were informed by egyptian authorities that some kind of medical intervention had to be done to keep him for his health. that's what the authorities say. they didn't give any details about what kind of medical intervention, where it took place, whether he's been moved to a hospital. so they've been extremely opaque. yesterday there was a kind of strange situation in which i, let's lawyer was for the 1st time since 20 plenty told that he can come and visit him in prison. he got the permit, he made it all the way to the prison facility, but then was turned away from the guard. so it's very confusing why addiction authorities are acting this way. so really there's no news and his family says that they have every reason to worry about his safety because there's just no news . okay. now as we've been hearing, obviously egypt in the international spotlight this this week in particular because

of the cop 27th climate summit. could you describe this as a kind of a rare opportunity for people like a bill footer or the human rights activists in the country, nor to what extent does an event like this help them? it helps somewhat. so one has to say that whenever things like that come to egypt, the government does release a number of political prisoners prior to try and create a mood of less descent or less, less of anger at some of these measures. that's on the one hand, alice was not included in the group of political prisoners that were released prior to the conference. on the other hand, just the fact that you know, all of these people from around the world are coming to egypt, particularly that incident with the parliamentary. and i think what a lot of people said, including the chief of the secretary general of amnesty international, is that now people have a small glimpse into the kind of repression. the kind of harassment that, you know, the human rights activists in egypt have to live with all the time. the other thing is that there's a lot of media attention. there's

a lot of journalists that are allowed there. they are paying close attention to everything that's happening. it is truly a country where there is no end of independent media. so at least there is that kind of attention coming with. that being said, it's difficult to see how the addiction government is going to, you know, perhaps release ela. it seems that's what his family says, that his case has become a case. so symbolic because he is so high profile and basically letting him go would be him too embarrassing for them. they said that he's become rep senator of something much, much bigger. i was gonna ask you at least, how has the egyptian government been dealing with this situation? well, officially they're saying, you know, i adapted fatter is, 1st of all, they're not recognizing his british citizenship. they say that because it was granted while he's in prison, and because for egyptian, for, for egyptian nationals to get a foreign citizenship. different authors have to prove that they're actually the

foreign minister has said that that particular process has not been made so that they're not recognizing it seems his british search and ship despite the british prime minister's attempt to get i let released there. also maintaining that this is a criminal case which is of, you know, they're criminalizing the bit, his activism, essentially and saying you're trying, you're asking for a presidential, pardon, for a criminal, and not necessarily a political prisoner. however, if you see how local media, the media that is targeted towards egyptians, is talking about the story. there's reason to believe that the government is nervous about this because they're really focusing on, oh, there's this conspiracy. they're trying to tarnish her reputation is people coming from outside because we've put on this like fantastic summit. and so there is reason to believe that they are more nervous about this. and this is really not going the way that the egyptian government wanted it to, not surprisingly because of this in being an international media spotlight. i abraham, thank you so much. now

a migrant ship carrying more than 200 people has ducks in the french port of too long. france agreed to welcome the ocean viking rescue boat into one of its ports after italy refused to let it dark on its territory. the issue has caused a spat between paris and the new right wing government in rome. it's been an odyssey of hardship for the passengers of the ocean, viking over 200 migrants, including 57 children, rescued from mediterranean waters and brought to europe's doorstep by the charity s o s military money. for days they waited off the coast of italy for permission to dock permission that never came. finally, france agreed to let them dock in the military port of 2 long. in the meantime, french maritime authorities evacuated passengers and crew with health issues via helicopter italy recently granted access to 3 other ships carrying migrants.

rome said a 4th vessel would be too much, but france had harsh words for italy. innovators of doing it, the new italian authorities have made the incomprehensible choice to not respond to multiple calls for assistance addressed by the ship over the past days. even if it was an uncontested lee in italy's search and rescue zone. as on dorsey, there is no doubt, however, in terms of international law and maritime law, y'all did that. it was italy's duty to immediately designate a port did to welcome his photo blocker. yes, about to while tensions between european nations over immigration are common. the outspoken response from paris is unusual and it hasn't stopped at mere words. france is pulling out of a deal to take on over 3000 asylum seekers from italy and has vowed to beef up at

security on the italian border. as for the over 200 migrants aboard the ocean viking, they will stay in europe some in france, others in germany, and await asylum processing. leaders from the association of southeast asian nations. or i see an r meeting in cambodia capital, putnam, penn, on the 1st day of the annual summit, delegates agreed to admit east t more as the blocks 11th member. other agenda items include tension between the u . s. and china. economic recovery and climate change. but that toughest challenge may well be me and mar, where violence between the military regime and the opposition is continuing ascii on his struggle to play a meaningful role in the conflict as dw gov matters reports now from thailand. sketching to relax during difficult times. this ought student from me and more has

been living in neighboring thailand since the military seized power in his country over a year and a half ago. he calls himself out, which is not his real name, but he's afraid of what the meal more army might do. to him, if he returns and has asked to stay anonymous, the 24 year old says the people of his country feel let down by the rest of the world. everybody kind of hope for any sort of interference intervention from the international community, especially from our neighbors. an honestly speaking, we have seen so much he statements released by international organizations. different countries fell apart from statements. i am not sure what we were kind of support. we've really gotten you association of southeast asian nations as young which includes thailand, says it remains committed to a peace plan agreed with me on march military rulers 18 months ago. but audience

principles of non interference and consensus have hindered it so far from taking a more proactive stance. asian studies professor now room on touch upon, is convinced that the association will have to abandon these principles if it intends to remain functional. if i say i would like to do something or anything if need to reform is or insist them. and in that case is can be, i mean, my dorothy warren. because otherwise, the only where if you do not 123 farm the way up more thing, it asked the and you just have to get me in my out with this. i don't thing as in one to do that. my, my little one moment, his friends back home. this means they will have to continue waiting. a local is really why they just don't know what to do next, which is it's almost like our lives have,

have stopped since 2021. i would like to return home and teach art history, but for now his family tells him to consider himself lucky that he is abroad. now some covered restrictions in china are being lifted. it's been announced that quarantined for inbound travelers is being cut by 2 days and the requirement to identify and isolate secondary close contacts is also ending in the capsule. beijing, though a new wave of infections, has led to the closure of tourist attractions and the cities parks with a negative test required to enter offices and leisure facilities. thursday authorities reported just over 10 and a half 1000 new domestically transmitted cases. nationwide. i probably and catch my as a journalist in beijing, and when we spoke earlier, he told me more about the coping measures that are now being relaxed. yet today the

standing committee of the politburo released 20. you are rules to quote unquote, optimize and adjust the pandemic strategy here. and that includes a reduction of karen teen both for inbound travelers, but also for am close context of covert cases. and then also, and there won't be any so called secondary m context any more that would have been traced previously and have been led to a lot of you know, current teen time for people also what us use and our mass testing that have been going on here, especially in the big cities, will be significantly reduced and also the m. s. cancellation of an international flights because of imported covered cases. this practice will also be suspended. so i would say this is the 1st major step towards the reopening of the country. even though the country are, i mean china still sticks to a 0 cove. it, it's a mini step, but definitely the 1st step towards shifting the pandemic strategy. and yet china

is still recording a high number of cases by its own standard. so. so why now i did authorities decide to ease these restrictions now yet the numbers are indeed very high. i mean, for chinese standards, the highest number basically since early may, so more than half the year. and i'm also paging. we have the highest number also since half a year. why now? i mean, the economic pain am induced by those locked down so they are really increasing by the day, i mean, that gifts, the chinese government, a lot of pressure to adjust their pandemic management. secondly, also the frustration among the public is also increasing. i mean the patience to comply with all the very strict and sometimes unnecessary rules am has decreased. so that's, that's another point. and the am government has previously acknowledged already that there was a lot of unnecessary human suffering due to the excesses excessive enforcement of

pandemic routes. for example, m a, you know, a medical emergency cases that could not be treated because of a strict lock downs, etc, etc. so they're adjusting it into again it's, it's a small step and we will have to see how it is enforced and implemented. but definitely, yeah, the 1st major break for towards a reopening for the on catch my reporting from beijing. thank you so much. now season at 5 as the british t. v. drama, the crown was released on netflix this week. the series chronicles the life and times of the british monarchy under the late queen elizabeth the 2nd and its latest season is the most controversial yet. oh house royals shambles. damage the country's reputation house of with should be binding the nation together. setting an example of idealized family life in 19 nineties and the british world family is under strain. my behavior is threatened by
