ah ah ah ah, this is dw news lived from berlin, ukrainian forces appeared to be close to reaching the center of the key city of her son, of the russians withdrawal from the area. moscow says her son will remain part of russia, though, despite the retreat of its soldiers. also coming up us, president joe biden sets off for the un employment summit in egypt. as america faces mounting pressure to spearhead the fight against global warming. and more

trouble as twitter, as new owner, ellen mosque says bankruptcy cannot be rolled out if the platform doesn't start generating more cash. plus, netflix releases the new series of the crown, a show chronicling the lives and loves of the british royal family. that is it wise 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 her son. 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. it was no longer able to supply. the kremlin says fast san will remain passive russia, despite its withdrawal. little slope 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 thanks soldiers as they enter the city. but not every one here shares their sense of euphoria. oh, isn't it still very, very scary when you drive through the region, you see how many villages have been bombed with her so much destruction of our school as destroyed that not a single window as lie. all the buildings are shattered. we all know spared wood. for the 1st time since moscow launched its invasion in 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 cni horoscope. renewal only with the referral signal. there's no food or nothing there i was and mostly people who are there right now told me they have no food. no, nothing left will do. 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 sides keep volleying rocket at each other, so no hurting. 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. earlier i asked our correspondent, nick connelly his in teams how close ukrainian forces are to completely re taking her son. 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 had song that they'd all been of accurate, very losses that elicited basically just ridiculous even from normally pro kremlin

military bloggers let alone ukrainians. there are images and social media of lots of russian destroyed tanks had been taken by the ukrainians. lots of russian soldiers left behind, seemingly in extreme distress. some we believe har changing into civilian clothes in the hope they can somehow hide and then kind of sneak their way back to the russian lines. so even though this was something that the russian government planted, the russian government announced they've also not be able to carry this out efficiently . this has turned into a fiasco and one that similarly is going to do a lot of damage to russian or 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 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 unfortunate. have a very long life is 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 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? what's that, that's the kind of crucial issue in all this that while russia is doing here read badly into mitchell 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 level in place like in july which are lot more exposed. and we've seen this tactic time time again attacking civilians. so checking with an 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 that 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 keynes. and here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. german lawmakers have approved plans to keep 3 remaining nuclear power plants working until next april. the power stations were

due to shut down this year. a decision is a response to the energy shortage created by cuts to fuel supplies from russia. barbara, the united nations general assembly has passed a draft resolution highlighting afghanistan's deteriorating situation and setting the stage for more aid. it also urges the taliban to reverse restrictions on freedoms for women and girls. the latest bands, women from parks and gems and activists. the staging protests that the un climate summit in egypt, you as president joe biden is on his way to the conference. he's going to face pressure to help developing countries hit by disasters caused by climate change. now the aim of that climate summit is 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. in particular, the treatment of pro democracy campaigner allow abdel fattah. he's been jailed the spreading. what the authorities allege was fake news. some protest is the using the summit as a platform to campaign for his release. but as we report now, the egyptian government is giving not just them but all activists 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 with me. it's completely different. the last time a conference was in glasgow. every day, there were street protests or near the conference center. this year you have to apply for permission to protest. 36 hours in advance. you. it's only open from 10

till 5, and it's on the heavy surveillance. some said they are also being closely monitored . many activists order information was taken. so we were like, how are we good to start something when these people are already trolling us, because now they 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 fata 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. our support. this is a function. despite an attempt by some,

including an egyptian lawmaker to stop her in with, without situations of egypt had hoped, climate would be the main focus at cock $27.00, o 3. instead its own human rights record is overshadowing. this summit did only report. abraham joins me now in the studio some more on this story. hi i now it's been 6 days. we know that i la abdel theatre says that he stopped 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 the information that we have from his family. they were informed by addiction 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 have been extremely opaque. yesterday there was

a kind of strange situation in which i let his 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 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 of, as the egypt and the international spotlight 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 abdel theater or the human rights activists in the country? no, 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, the less an anger 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 fresh and the kind of harassment that you know, human rights activists. and you don't 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 up independent media. so at least there is that kind of attention coming with. that being said, it's difficult to see how the adoption 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 bigger. i was gonna ask you, actually, how has the egyptian government been dealing with this situation? well, officially they're saying, you know, i add up the fighter 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. a different theories have to prove that they're actually, the foreign minister has said that, you know, that particular process has not been made so that they're not recognizing it seems his british citizenship, despite the british prime ministers, attempt to get i let released there. also maintaining that this is a criminal case which is of you know, there 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 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 dogs in the french ports of 2 lord fronts agreed to welcome the ocean viking breski boat into one of its ports of italy refused to let on its territory of the issue has caused a bath between paris and the new right wing government in rome. its been an odyssey of hardship for the passengers of the ocean, viking, over $200.00 migrants,

including $57.00 children, rescued from mediterranean waters and brought to europe doorstep by the charity as a west military honey. 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. in very little, i think 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. early in italy's search and rescue zone, as one dealership,

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, 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 in germany and a weight asylum processing. china is easing some of it stringent coded restrictions, including the time that inbound passages have to spend in quarantine. a requirement to identify and isolate secondary clays. contacts is also ending at these changes

come despite a surge and cases, but also as fears, grow the economic impact of beijing's 0 covey policy. there is little sign here. the china could be about to open up. this is become as normal as sleeping and eating to people in beijing come rain or shine in many parts of the capitol, daily test. so again, man that tree with the country sticking with its 0 tolerance approach as it battles a new wave of the virus. that's also meant more shut down this week or tourist attractions in the city parks forster close to visitors. but while there may have been some public displays of frustration at seemingly never ending restrictions, many residences still backing this strategy. oh, hold on. i think the control and prevention measures a pretty good every one should understand what the measures a for step by step. it's not feasible to have 10 people sacrificing for one

person's actions. because this affects the local economic situation where you are and you need look no further than china's singles day to see what effect it's 0 cobit policy is having on people's pockets. the 11th of november's, traditionally the country's biggest online shopping day, with billions spent domestically on discounted bargains. but with cobit now delivering economic uncertainty, this year could well be difference. oh, this year i feel kind of worried when spending money, but what i have bought and things i need and that would be used for quite a long time. really, the epidemic has been impacting us for 3 years. so every one has become more frugal . when like before china's decision to cut back some of its cobit policies with cuts to quarantine days for inbound travelers and airlines, no longer facing penalties. we're bringing in to many cases. both perhaps signs that the country may soon open up and get moving again. now the drama at twitter

continues with new own a lawn mask, reportedly saying that bankruptcy. com, a rolled out of the social media platform doesn't generate more cash. the 1000000000 as warning comes amid more departures amongst the companies leadership. the latest includes the platforms, top privacy and compliance offices, the left just days often must fired around half of the firms $7000.00 employees. meanwhile, u. s. federal trade commission says it is watching events at twitter closely. for more on this story, i'm joined in the studio here by my colleague chip on the cham belew from our business team. hi to ponder. now the big news here, clearly ilan mosque is talking about bankruptcy as a, as a possibility. can you tell us how this could be? well, annual. well twitter is losing money and allan must because himself has said it's losing $4000000.00 a day. and this is one reason why he fired half of it. $7000.00 of staff members or

so last week on when we look at what's happened with investors around $13000000000.00 was what ellen mosque reportedly borrowed from 7 wall street banks and has 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 or 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 a which was set up with a blue check. and was,

you can now get is $8.00 for a dollar is and that account was able to tweak that eli lilly. it 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. 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 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 via ads, and we do know that even mosque was speaking this week on twitter spaces, it was a twitter spaces with round over 100000 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 at which i can put a kim bailey from d. w. business. thank you so much. now seasoned 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 best later season is the most controversial yet. ah, royal struggles damaged the country's reputation. now suppose i should be binding the nation together, setting an example of idealized family life in the 19 ninety's and the british will, family is on the strain thing is my behavior, this threatening survival. you as a future king that duty marital discord, public descent. it's really been under fire at windsor castle 12 months and through it all, the queen, mister, manage her family and the reputation of the royal brand. in this 5th outing of the series created by peter morgan, it, male,
