[000:00:00;00] ah, news ah, ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, nato and warsaw. believe tuesdays miss al exploded in poland was unintentional. they say it was most likely ukraine that finds the bas all in self defense trying

talking infrastructure and cities across the country. in these fields near the ukrainian border, the search for answers continues. it was here that a missile came down on tuesday, killing 2 and sparking fears that the worn ukraine might escalate into a wider conflict. had this been an intentional attack on nato member, poland. a could have triggered a military response by the alliance by analyses of these fragments, let war so to conclude, that the message was not launched by russia. who appears to be sure agatha, he was probably an as $300.00 rocket mate in the soviet union. an old rocket and there is no evidence that it was launched by the bush inside. it is highly probable . it was fired by ukrainian anti aircraft offences. and unfortunately fell on our with heavy tree. russia on tuesday launched dozens of cruise, my southern drones at civilian targets in ukraine as president putin sheets to

compensate for battlefield defeats with terror. hello, ukrainian president vladimir. the lansky denied that a ukrainian air defense michelle had gone. of course he called for his own investigators to be granted access to the site range. couple ukrainian position is very clear. we strive to establish all the details school. every fact that is why we need our specialists to join the international investigation and to get access to all the data available to our partners and to his side of the explosion, do mika, we will. in his remarks, the incident has not weakened the resolve of ukraine's key ally the united states. and we, the united states are determined to continue to support ukraine with the means to defend themselves for as long as it takes. but the end of the day ukraine will retain, will remain

a free and independent country will its territory intact. with nato unlikely to join the fight, he crane will need all the material support it can get a corresponded john. phillip schultz is in keith. if this was caused by a ukrainian air defense me, sol, how damaging is that for ukraine? i think the fact itself that it was probably an accident caused by ukrainian air defense is not so damaging for ukraine. every one in the western countries, especially also in poland, that is directly affected, agrees that the ultimate responsibility is with russia. without that invasion, none of this would have happened and i haven't heard any direct accusations against ukraine in this regard. what might be a little bit more damaging, a rhetoric that we have heard since the incident happened. first of all,

the absolute denial that it might have anything to do with the ukrainian air defense. and then the deep skepticism regarding the investigation results that have been carried out, and that have been published so far. president lensky was still saying yesterday, he has no doubts. it was not ukraine's missiles saying he bases his conclusion on reports from the ukrainian military. how does that fit into the narrative? well, i think if we look carefully at the statements since the incident happened, we see a slow shift there at the very beginning. the official statement was, it was a russian missile and everything else is basically a conspiracy theory. in the afternoon, president lensky said that he still doesn't have any doubt that ukraine doesn't have anything to do with it. and so the secretary of the security council sat there,

there is no evidence supporting the 1st investigation results. but in the later evening, president zalinski statements changed a little bit. he was still speaking about russian aggression crossing the border, but in a more general way. and he was more focusing on his demand that the all investigation results have to be transparent and that ukrainian specialists have to be involved in the investigation. ok. and i heard an air raid siren there ringing out just as we crossed to you. and i believe russian missiles continued to fall on ukraine. how is the country coca the last 2 days have been extremely difficult, sir. the way for a missile attacks that we have seen has, without any doubt been the strongest, the heaviest wave of checks so far, it's very difficult for you. crane. at the moment,

every day life has changed. there are still a lot of power cuts on a daily basis, and watch is also quite well, quite alarming in this regards. our statements by international specialists or by international experts that are the power cuts have also increased the risk once again of a possible nuclear accident. because the power plant power plants obviously rely on external power during their operations. it's a very difficult moment and we must not forget that fighting, continue it after the withdrawal of russian troops from carson in the south fighting has once again increased in the eastern part of the country. gentle sholtes with the update their from ukrainian capital or back in september, ukraine launched

a successful counter offensive to drive russian forces out of nearly all of the country's eastern hockey province. but in many, his locals are still struggling to put their lives back together after russian occupation dw mathias bullying. a reports from could be asked the difficult few steps when natalia push gone. she spent nearly a month locked in this police station in her hometown of cooper's when the russians were in charge. it's the 1st time she's been back. ringback wash, it's hard to remember this, but i'm ok. no, not. early in the occupation she attended appro ukrainian rally. she says she was not tortured, but that she heard the cries of other prisoners in another room. thus above the threshold, i wasn't afraid for myself is this kind of fear passes. you understand a bull throws logic,

but i was afraid for the young guys who were tortured there. i was afraid they might kill them just for being ukrainians. news just for that on a postal grain says didn't get that this is what coupons looks like despite the mere handing the town over on the 1st day of the war. it's been a fight for the ukrainians to take it back. and since they did in september, russian shelling has been relentless with him. you would like it. oh, oh, natalia is the director of avoiding school for disabled children. and the war started, she and fellow teachers saw the children go to their families and took in people's lean nearby fighting. they did their best to prepare for occupation. oh, this is where we had all the ukrainian symbols. oh yes, my country,

the country of my ancestors we had on my own. i think they had found this and they would have immediately thank you. and these are the children's metals, natalia and the few colleagues who remain are trying to patch up the school. the shell in the yard, most of the windows are broken, but she's putting the ukraine symbols back up and she's determined to resume teaching, at least online, on up or when up or to what? let the can the school has to work for these kids. they are, the military administration says that education will start as soon as we have internet again, go live, not laboratory internet. meanwhile, the aim is to keep the winter out and clear up the west of the miss. only age of the 49 teachers as to the round locals,

which in to come in, girls get inside quickly. just leave everything they have a long way to go, but they're looking to the future time for some other stories making use around the world. the republican party has garnered enough seats to take control of the us house of representatives. after last week's mid term elections, it gives the republicans considerable power to oppose president joe biden's agenda for the final 2 years of his term. is democrats still control the senate. man mars military regime safe is it is releasing close to 6000 prisoners to mark next week's national victory day holiday. some relatives gathered outside the prison in yan gone, following the announcement among those being freed area for the british ambassador, a japanese journalist and australian economist iran. same media is reporting that

a for the 3 people will face the death penalty. after weeks of protests against the government, thousands have been arrested in the demonstration sponsor by the death of a young woman arrested for allegedly wearing her head jabbing properly. the 1st sentence was announced earlier this week about it is expected later in the trial of 3 russians and a ukrainian over their alleged rolls in the downing of fight. mh 17. the malaysia airlines passenger jap was shot down over eastern ukraine in 2014, killing. all 298 people on board. an international investigation established it was hit by a russian missile fired from separate hist held territory in ukraine. the trial is being held in the netherlands, where most of the victims came from. a tree was planted at this memorial for each of the $298.00 victims of flight image. 17. 3 of them are for the family of people . like most of the relatives,

he's keen to hear the final verdict of the dutch court. we are waiting for a few for the for, for the 3rd. it is for me and for all next of kin, it's very, very important. the trial about the downing of m. h. 17, is a test for the dutch justice system. 68 hearings, 70000 pages of documents, and the elaborate reconstruction of the destroyed plane in a hangar in the netherlands. the suspects were military commanders, 3 russian, and one ukrainian. they didn't take part in the proceedings. we have always known that the for suspected will do their time. i and they are under the protection of the russian government. we know that her, but you know, it is for report for us at an independent court, this referred it and the world will know who was responsible. figuring out which type of rocket brought down the airplane and where it was fired from was the 1st hurdle. the 2nd was identifying the suspects here, the investigative website. bellingham played

a big role using open source information. we had mob images with wreckage and that and that establish which party actually being hit by shrapnel. you also have videos and photographs me shared that of a book missile launcher being transported, that a lot of the dentist hours the route. so i will shoot towards the launch sites in international investigative team in the netherlands was adding more detail as were the dutch prosecutors. it was also especially difficult for the dutch court because there was a politically charged trial. besides, the 4 suspects, the russian states seemed to be in the duck, though criminal trial really isn't about russia. and at the same time, indirectly. of course, a lot of these evidentiary questions concerned a role of russia really with regard to that book or where it was launched from and the role of russia in terms of having effect over on the separatist fighters. so indirectly, it's very much about russia, but russia never acknowledged its role. it really would have made

a difference if her, if they said, sorry that they never did. and some of the families involved have never recovered from the tragedy war. still in grade, psychological or distress. ah, lost her job, she lost her companies or lost their families. families are torn apart and they are still living as if, if you, as if it happened yesterday. for others time has healed some of the pain, and for them the verdict may go some way to delivering justice is this news is next with christie, plaza. i been facility next out with
