ah, if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air units with on d w. ah, ah, ah, this is dw news ly, them from berlin tonight. is this the beginning of the end of the war in you? great, that's what ukraine's president ought to be. zalinski is calling the liberation of care. so today he visited the city to congratulate the troops who have ended 8

months of russian occupation. there also people here and not being put off by fact there's no power as their water, if they can company he explosions in the distance from a terrify from the money order. that doesn't matter right now to these people. they just here celebrate the european union slapping more economic sanctions on iraq and it's in reaction to tay ron's crack down on protesters and to iran selling kamikaze drones to russia. was you as president joe bite and telling china that there doesn't have to be another cold war? it's the 1st time that the 2 leaders have met since joe biden became us president. ah, i'm brent gov. it's good to have you with us on this monday,

ukraine's president volume is a landscape. he is calling the liberation of her son, the beginning of the end of the war. he made that declaration today during a surprise visit to the city. her son was recaptured by ukrainian forces on friday . after rush troops withdrew to the other side of these in the pro river. now the city was the only provincial capital that had fallen into russian hands. it been under occupation for about 8 months. you may remember russia annexed here, saw in the surrounding area in a sham at referendum back in september. will order me the lansky came to the liberated city to deliver a message of hope and defiance. until it was not very pleasant. when i saw the number of destroyed houses, the number of destroyed cafe, this is what the russian federation has done to our country from us. it's shown the whole world that it can kill. but all of us, our armed forces, our national guard,

our intelligence services, has shown that's impossible to kill ukraine, you know. so, with mammals, the retreating russians are close, so zalinski visit is dangerous. it isn't the 1st time the wartime leader has ignored personal risk to live, the nation's spirits. ah, haslam is draped, ukraine's national colors. so to it's cuba and residents, the moment of liberation still fresh on their minds. we just understood that there are no russian troops in the city, and something is changed to pull the smiling and probably somebody in the you, so thing. and then, oh, when we return to me, we saw how the flag was the rising. voy, i'll where people and we were, we were just crying. it was so it was so wonderful. meanwhile, the remnants of russian rule of foster appearing. i had the low billboards,

no advertising, but this rocky russian hill again to every where is a thing we've, they wanted to conform like people in russia, but it didn't work. victory in house on has added momentum to ukraine and efforts to expel the invaders. but with russian forces just across the river and still lodged in large parts of eastern ukraine to lance gain, his commanders know that the war is far from over our corresponding economy. he spent the day in her son and i asked him whether the celebrations and zalinski his visit, whether they mean that the city is now safe from russian attacks. well, definitely it doesn't feel perfectly safe. you're coming from outside. you constantly hear very loud bang, some of those are minds being blown up, but also some of that is very definitely russian artillery coming from the other side of the nipper river. the entirety of hits on is basically, you know,

available to russian fire. there is no way that is safe, even from pretty short range weapon systems. but when you walk around street and talk to people, they barely look up when they hear those bang. you see the kind of the outside of the journalist, the politicians coming from care of today, all kind of looking knows the sky in the local to just glue to their phones, hoping for a bit of mobile phone signal to contact the outside world to hear how their families are doing to catch up on news, and they are now totally new to it. 8 months after, in the outpatient began, most people, they say the youth russians are on the side of the river. they don't believe that the russians can hold their positions and their commits, the cranial me will send them packing. within a few weeks, we know that ukraine's president zalinski said to day that he, according here he's ready for peace. are we closer to peace now? compared to where we were a week ago, i think is his question of interpretation. i think he definitely means piece on ukraine's terms that ukraine's terms piece achieved on the battlefield by pushing

russia back to at least where it was at the beginning of this war in late february, or at best getting russia out crimea out of don't bass. i think the outside world has kind of very greedily kind of jumped on that statement in the hope that that means some kind of willingness to kind of deal with russia that would end this and see energy prices dropping around the world. sea food prices dropping, and basically you know, a deal where ukraine would better do the world a favor by accepting some kind of face saving solution for lo putin. i don't think that's going to happen. and i think that's not can happen because ukrainians just aren't gonna accept it. after all those deaths on the battlefield or the civilian deaths, there is no actor yet for that kind of deal that would see russia winning some kind of, you know, some kind of small gains from this war at all. you mentioned civilian deaths, evidence of war crimes is again emerging this time in the city of here. so considering what you have seen in other places and i'm thinking of the town of boucher, for example on where does this leave hopes of finding

a lasting peace. i think definitely these kind of, she writes abuses do mean that relations between ukraine, russia are going to be poisoned for decades. if not more to come. that is kind of goes without saying, as situation and so on. i think it's still early days, on average, in the old places. it's taken a couple of days a week before though kind of full extent of what happened became clear before mass graves were found before people came out with their stories. but even in a few hours, we spent there on the square talk to people. we had several people talking about friends, relatives that have gone missing that is just unaccounted for that. you know, they think probably were taken away by the russians for pro ukraine beliefs or people who maybe just lost their lives trying to get out trying to get you crank roll, churchy. so lots of gruesome discoveries definitely expected to come the weeks and months to come in at one. and, you know, nick, you, i've been saying that russia is digging in for a defensive. i mean, that sounds like russia is preparing for a very long winter. i mean, how,

where do you think this war is likely heading to the question that i need a crystal ball to answer with any kind of guarantee of accuracy. but definitely the russians looked like they're trying to dig in. they want to kinda hold on to the left bank in the pro river. they want to hold on to that land bridge to crimea. but whether or not they were able to do that, i think, you know right now they're on the back foot, the ukrainians getting more and more western weapons and using them pretty effectively. and so far, the russians haven't been able to kind of bring well trained people to front lines . the mobilized troops that are ending up in ukraine in the trenches are all under equipped. and under trains, they don't really having any, much of a kind of positive impact there. so, and i think the crazy push and the advantage and the russians are hoping desperately that ukraine's western back as well at some point, pulled a break and tell you crane to kind of cut a deal for the sake of the wider world and the kind of big economic, political tensions worldwide. he w correspondent connelly 40 tonight from ukraine with the latest nic. thank you.

and hear some of the other headlines around the world this hour, the united nations general assembly has passed a resolution calling on russia to pay reparations to ukraine. the non binding decision was supported by 94 of the assemblies, 193 members. it states that russia must be held accountable for violations of international law in or against ukraine. octed truck drivers in spain have begun an indefinite strike over bad working conditions. hundreds of truckers marched through the centre of madrid to day demanding subsidies counteract the soaring cost of living. their last conversation with the government lasted more than 20 days. he calls major disruptions to supply chains. to people have been killed, dozens wounded in missile strikes on the headquarters of iranian kurdish political parties in northern iraq,

radian media say that they were carried out by iran revolutionary guard. the guard accused kurdish militants of stoking wide spread port protests inside. iran is staying with iran. the european union is imposing new sanctions on the country. the measures target senior officials and some organisation e foreign ministers met today, brussels to discuss these sanctions. they are in response to iran's crackdown on anti government protests and to iran's alleged supplying of kamikaze drones to russia. the chief of iran revolutionary guard. and a company that makes drones, are among the targets of these sanctions. within 300 people have been killed in protest in iran. they were sparked by the death of a woman who was being held by the country's morality police are corresponded. terry

schultz, she followed the meeting of e u foreign ministers in brussels to day. she sent us this, continuing to support ukraine against russia's aggression was the main issue on the foreign ministers agenda as a day. but there was also a lot of attention on iran, more than 30 individuals and organizations have now been placed on the sanctions list over 2 separate issues. the 1st is over the continuing repression of human rights. and the interior minister has now been put on the used black list because of the, the brutal repression of demonstrators who filled the streets since the september death of masa omni, the young woman who was arrested for reportedly failing to cover her head in the appropriate way. according to ron's morality police, the squat of, of officers who arrested her are also now on that list. now the 2nd issue is over to ron supply of drones to the russian government. and a high ranking, a military and intelligence official has now been blacklisted along with a drone making company. this is the 2nd round of sanctions that the

e u has placed on iran over the supply of drones. and that brings up another issue that's drawing a lot of concern in brussels these days. and that is that iran is reportedly preparing to supply ballistic missiles to moscow. now you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, has been on the phone to the regime multiple times in the last couple of weeks to urge to run, to change its mind on this to say that more sanctions will be brought into force immediately. if it's proven that such a shipment takes place. now while all of these tensions are bubbling at a high point, the in you is also trying to make peace with iran over the nuclear deal. they very much want to keep this agreement alive. of course, after the u. s. pulled out in 2016, and this is going to be a hard sell now, because that would involve lifting sanctions on the regime at the same time as they're doing these other things that are drawing more restrictions. and we're told that that's really not getting a lot of attention. now we're not, there's not

a lot of appetite for that in either europe or the united states. and it remains to be with our t, ron is even interested in continuing to discuss it. given the most recent developments that was our terry shoulds report from brussels, us president joe biden to they met with his chinese counterpart, she jumping ahead of the g. 20 summit in indonesia, one of the most pressing issues. china is aggressive claims on taiwan. that said, both leaders were able to highlight the need to avoid conflict, especially when nuclear weapons are involved after months of simmering tension, the leaders of china and the u. s. struck an optimistic tone in what president joe biden called direct and straightforward talks during their meeting ahead of the g. 20 summit in bali, chinese president. she's in ping tote, his u. s. counterpart that the 2 nations share common interests. as china's political and economic power grows, she said beijing is not looking to challenge the u. s. or shake up the existing

international order. ah, the current state of china us relations is what we are both concerned about. but the current state does not conform to the fundamental interests of our 2 countries and peoples, nor does it conform to the expectations of the international community. one of the key issues was taiwan and the u. s. pledge to defend the self governing island biden voiced opposition to growing chinese aggression. he reiterated washington's one china policy, which acknowledges beijing's claim to taiwan, but does not recognize its sovereignty over the island. but biden said there was no need to let tension spill over into a new cold war. i'm from for one. i'm really clear that our policy or to or this is

a clue course to lucius. all right, after you as how speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan in august, beijing scrapped it's agreements with washington on tackling climate change. but following mondays, meeting at the world's 2 biggest greenhouse gas emitters have re committed to cooperate, biden said, u. s. secretary of state, antony blinked. and will soon visit china vowing to avoid conflict and keep communication channels wide open. christie flies is that makes what he w. business news. i'll see you tomorrow. ah. will you become a criminal? m. franklin may i already know who's with.
