the cello layout well i was the only one i'm super lucky. music under the swastika starts november 19th on t w. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, ukrainian forces appear to be close to reaching the center of the key city of hassan. after russia's withdrawal from the area bosco says, her son will remain passive russia, despite the retreat of its soldiers. also on the program, u. s. president joe biden sets off for the you and climate change summit in egypt as his country faces mounting pressure to start leading the fight against global

warming. and china says that his lifting some coven restrictions, including easing quarantine for travelers, despite a surgeon, cases will go to bay jake to find out what is happening there. class, netflix releases it latest installment of the crown, a show chronic thing, the lives of the british royal family. but just how wise is it to mix historical facts with dramatic fiction? ah, i manuscripts mckinnon. thanks for joining us. ukraine says it is in the final stages of reclaiming some of the territory vacated by russian troops in the southern region of hassan. now, earlier russia said it had finished withdrawing its forces from the western bank of

the denise pro river. the defense ministry says it ordered the retreat to save the lives of soldiers that it was no longer able to supply the kremlin, says her son will remain passive russia, despite the withdrawal. little slope of moving closer to the city of her son. the ukrainian flat 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. was it 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, that is not a single window with lag. all the buildings are shattered. we all know spared 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 hello referrals signal. there's no food all or nothing. there i was and mostly 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. with 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 rocket at each other . so nobody. 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. and here i asked our correspondent, nick conley, his in keys. how close ukrainian forces are to completely re taking has on that still, i think a few days off a list of the official sources here in cuba 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 in the 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 plan did, the russian government announced they'd also 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 chaos. sec, i 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 minds that have been recovered from the roads leading towards kind of song. so we believe it's 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 taking a grenade. and attaching into a bit of maybe fishing why i'm putting in the bushes in the expectation that anyone that comes through will then trigger that grenades. some of these very primitive and unfortunate have a very long life is made of plastic that a rust to. they could still pose a danger to civilians in weeks, months and in years to come. but then even they do get had a son 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 being 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, but russian air strikes 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? well that's, that's the kind of crucial issue in all this that while russia is doing here read badly, international warfare on the battlefield. they are still able to really exact, very high price the ukraine civilians. they still have enough rockets to attack near cities behind the front lines far away from the fighting, let alone play certain calais, which are lot more exposed. and we've seen this tactic time time again attacking civilians. so checking 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 kind agreement with russia, given how badly things going on the battlefield. russia right now. thanks so much nick, nick connelly reporting from kings. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. australian m . p. 's have race concerns after cyber criminal criminal attacks,

the country's largest health insurer, medi bank. they saw 9700000 customer records, including those of the countries. prime minister, the data was put on the dark web, exposing date, details of abortions, drug addiction, and other sensitive health issues. after many bank refused to pay ramson, i had been just going, a police officer has died and another has been injured. and a nice attack in brussels. the suspected attacker was shot after the stabbing and taken to hospital belgian anti terrorism. prosecutors have taken over the investigation a migrant ship carrying more than 200 people has ducks in the french ports of too long. france agreed to welcome the ocean viking breski boat into one of its ports after italy refused to let it duck on its territory. the issue is close to spot between paris and the new right when government in room. 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 dark 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 roam, said a 4th vessel would be too much. but france had harsh words for italy in the military did it. a 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 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. got it that it was italy's duty to immediately designate a port to welcome this photo, sue parker. 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 $3000.00 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 and germany, and await asylum processing. now the you and the climate change summit in egypt has been called to try to of the catastrophe as global warming heads towards dangerous levels. but the human rights record of the host country. egypt is also

coming under scrutiny. in particular, the treatment of pro democracy campaigner allowed delta, and he's been jailed the spreading. what the authorities allege was fake news. some processed as a, using the summit now as a platform to campaign for his release. and as we report, the egyptian government is giving them a 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. with me, it's completely different. the last climate conference was in glasgow. every day. there were street protests ah, near the conference center this year you have to apply for permission to protest

a 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. yeah, me, active is already a information was taken. so we were like, how are we good to start? something with these people are already trolling 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 as 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 in with, without situations of egypt had hoped, climate would be the main focus that caught $27.00. 03. instead its own human rights record is overshadowing this summit. daily report i abraham joins me now in the studio for more on this story. hi i now it's been 6 days. we know the ala 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 for the information that we have is an information that we have from his family. they were informed by adoption 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 2020, 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 egyptian 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 of, as the egypt and the international spotlight this this week in particular because of the cop 27 climate summit. could you describe this as a kind of a rare opportunity for people like a bill theater or the human rights activists in the country? no, to what extent is 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 an anger at, at,

at some of these measures. that's on the one hand i let 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, 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. egypt 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 representative of something much, much. i was gonna ask you at least, how has the egyptian government been dealing with their situation? well, officially they're saying, you know, i adapted for to is, 1st of all, they're not recognizing his british citizenship. they say that because it was granted while he is 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 the busy criminal case, which is of, you know, they're criminalizing the, the, 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 our 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 the drama at twitter continues with new owner ilan mask reportedly saying that bankruptcy cannot be ruled out of the social media platform doesn't generate more cash as a 1000000000, as warning comes and made more departures amongst the companies leadership. the latest includes the platforms, top privacy and compliance officers who left just days after masked, fired around half of the firms $7000.00 employees. meanwhile,

the u. s. federal trade commission says it is watching events at twitter closely. for more on this story, i'm gently and in this to get here by my colleague to punch embellish from our business team. hi chip on that. now the big news here clearly ellen musk is talking about bankruptcy as a, as a possibility. can you tell us how this could be? well and yeah, well twitter is losing money and you must because self has said it's losing $4000000.00 a day. and this is one reason why he fired half of it, 7000 staff members or so last week. and when we look at what's happened with investors around $13000000000.00 was what ellen mosque reportedly borrowed from 7 wall street banks. and there's been reports, at least one and bloomberg saying that those invest or banks have been selling some of that debt for $0.60 to a dollar. so they're pretty much selling it at

a loss. which just goes to show that even investors who, you know, put their money behind in moscow, i don't have a lot of confidence. if we look at his subscription plan, the blue check mark that was of course, a huge story as well. for those who are verified, concerned about verified accounts. well, that's not going very well either, because of course, we've heard stories from a parody account of eli lilly, which is the pharmaceutical company of a huge pharmacy company in the united states. and there was a parody account of eli lilly, which was set up with blue check mark. and was, you can now get is $8.00 for a dollar is and that account was able to tweak that eli lilly was giving away insulin for free. and which of course, the light really had to deny on a verified account, and that is something that companies don't want to see. so we're looking at ad revenue potentially going away as a result of confidence that companies are losing credibility is really at stake here. and so we, we definitely will see

a lot of this unfolding going forward as well. so things not going so well not to mention this latest departure of top executives. what i mean, what does that say about the company? well, it just says that even the top executives don't have much confidence potentially. of course the question is, are those executives leaving because they think, wish you the ship of thinking or will be thinking at some point soon? or just because the maybe they don't agree with the direction of the company, which could be good, maybe a couple of months, you know, after this. but because it won't bold very well with advertisers. they're the ones who need to have confidence in the company going forward. if it wants to generate more revenue of via ads, and we do know that elan mosque was speaking this week on twitter spaces. it was a twitter spaces with round over a $100000.00 listeners. i wasn't it myself. it was very much trying to reassure advisor, advertises to stay in on twitter and advertise and use it because as far as he can,

he is concerned. there's not much change to the platform. however, of course, when we look at what has been going on, it's quite obvious and, and the other ties are waiting to see what happens. so load them are not even advertising. they're holding back that revenue, and the blue check mark doesn't seem to be working. so there's a lot of stuff going on amid the changes that is not helping the bottom line for twitter right now. turbulent times that twitter, chem put a chim bailey from d. w. business. thank you so much. now, some coded restrictions in china are being lifted. it's been announced that quarantine for inbound travelers is being caught by 2 days and the requirement to identify and isolate secondary close contacts is also ending in the capital 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. on thursday was

already reported just over 10 and a half 1000 new domestically transmitted cases. nationwide. southern catch my as a journalist in beijing, and when we spoke earlier, he told us more about the code and 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 current in 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 contacts any more that will have been traced a previously and have been led to a lot of you know, current teen time for people also what us news and there are 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 here 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 em 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, it 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 rules. for example, or medical emergency cases that could not be treated because of strict lock downs, etc, etc. so they're adjusting it and again it's, it's a small step and we will have to see how it is enforced and implemented. but definitely, you know, the 1st major break for towards a reopening for the on catch my reporting from beijing. thank you so much. now here's some royal drama full ye because season 5 of the british t. v drama. the crown was released on netflix this week. now 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 take

a look. oh, house royal shambles. damage the country's reputation house of winter should be binding the nation together. setting an example of idealized family life in 19 nineties and the british war family is on the strain. my behavior is threatening to bite you as future king have a duty, marital discord, public descent, and a fire at windsor castle 12 months. and through a tool, the queen, mister, manage her family and the reputation of the royal brand. in this 5th outing of the series created by peter morgan, m l, the thornton takes over. as the monarch. what peter morgan does is try to make people understand a what is like if i to be a member of the royal family or you have to put a face on whatever's going on behind closed doors. there's a lot going on. dominic west betrays the now king, then prince of wales, charles,

it's a time of life that was, you know, not only of the prime of his life, but also in many ways the most difficult time his life. and i felt that i felt enormous evergreen symptoms for him was the one condition. the crown is nice stranger to criticism, but this season has come under particular fire critics, a the mixture of historical fact and dramatized fiction. it could prove confusing, even damaging to the royal it stars disagree feels it's whole about iraq. i think peter is always written right with the idea of gabriel. every, every on a fair hearing and, and i loved a guy and i like the way i kind of done it without him. everyone's watch. the crown for 4 seasons hasn't bothered them before. whatever you've used the crown season fight is a drama packed emotional rollercoaster that makes by nail biting binge watch.

how did it come to? this is a reminder of our top story today. ukraine says it forces are pushing ahead towards the key southern city of hassan following rushes. withdrawal from the area kremlin says the area will remain positive russia despite the pull out and that's where we have time, full in good shape coming up. next. i'm nicotine mckinnon. thanks so much for watching with ah, with
