can, desertion streets and destroyed buildings and ukraine's back. more fighting has ranged here for months. now. russian forces looking to regain ground after retreating from his son and her keep have sit this sites on buck what the fighting is, taking its toll on residents and those and nearby cher sieve. yar. platinum is rotten or scary. not scary, but what to do that we need to live several. not many here are fleeing evacuation cruise, helping to get them out. it was scary with only the dead on, not afraid. and we still want to live. nobody needs a dead evacuation worker. not as long as we are alive, we can help, but others and so anxious to up route their lives. we will not even we on a native land knew where to go. i have both brothers and sisters,

both parents and grandfathers. berry dealing with once, no one for its vineyards and salt mines. but what is now known as the meat grinder for the brutal trench warfare artillery jewels and frontal assaults, around the city or up there shelling over here before shells flew like this. but now like this, the russians are already on the hill. it's constant shilling. it's quiet today, but we've just had 3 days of heaving shillings. those who are staying hopeful, the fighting will soon end. most of the ukrainian soldiers have been fighting for the city since april. i think they will defend our city. i think everything will be fine. at least we hope. that's why we don't leave and then we will rebuild. that recovery seems far off as back let's battle continues. well,

let's bring in russia analyst concerning egg at her who is in the lithuanian capital vilnius concert in we're hearing that both sides are seeing heavy casualties and the fighting near back. what. what more can you tell us? well, as o colleague mentioned in the report, monica, it is a made greens are and it's been one for nearly half a year. now since may i think i, i think that a, this just shows that are the, are rushing russian army. russian military commanders did not to learn the lessons of these last 19 months. essentially, they're spending their manpower and their material. there they are. there are resources on tactical, on tactical aims and like to go gate. essentially, this is not only my view, the british institute for the study war is just a commented in detail on the operation ah,

in and around the mode. and it is indeed resembling a 1st world war style trench warfare bought. it seems that the strategic gain, even if russia takes the city of a huge human cost for the poor residence, it will not advance its goals, whatever they are, by the way, now in the ukraine of very significantly. right. are you talking about russia using all the manpower we also hear that russian army appears to be deploying newly mobilized troops on the front line. lots of young man. can you confirm that it seems that it is true, judging by the russian social media at least, and lots of bob messages from, you know, with wives girlfriend, sisters of, of those mobilized. and it is indeed a very logical put him has to keep a response of he's all me. staged stationed elsewhere was rush was a huge country. so this mobilization of that have on the recently is of course to

provide for online troops. essentially, i'm really very, very said to use this expression from a sanctuary. goats. it's cameron photo for both these people who does care about them. so i think this will continue, and i'm afraid that we'll see more mobilizations in russia on a much larger scale quite soon. right, russia, analysts, constantine aga, thank you so much for your insights on your assessment. thank you to the situation of canister now where people who speak out against the growing taliban restrictions on women risk arrest and torture. and that also includes women, human rights activists, such as marijuana, niche robbie, who spent $24.00 days in jail after being arrested for participating in a women's rights protest in kabul in mid january this year. she is now in germany as a refugee and she spoke to d deleon. use about a experience in prison. oh,

coming back from kim, what do you know what punishment we have chosen for you? a taliban member asked me one day when i said i didn't know, he said they would stone me. tell the other girl to pray. we are going to stone you . he said i started crying and asked him what my crime was. that was the worst time my biggest wish was to get a helmet so that i would not get hurt. if they stoned me. i checked my clothes to see if there was something that could protect me from stoning. and i wondered, what stoning hurt when ah, active is part of one and is robbie spent 24 days in the taliban prison in afghanistan . her work fighting for women's rights put her in the hard line groups firing line . since seizing power in august

2021, the taliban have severely restricted these rights girls have been bought from school and women, faith increasingly harsh. social restrictions of to protesting for women's rights in the afghan capital. kabul is robbie was arrested de covered. most of them care, men coming in chrome. i don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st to think about himself. i felt my eardrums were damaged them. you are like mitchell southern us and he snapped me again. was that at my mouth? started leading his adam wasn't that's not that bramble. i tried to get out of the car in which they were carrying me by another taliban member who was sitting in the back seat. hit me and my back and with his pistol said i'm calling. because madison burn that one has presented that bushels that miss robbie says the taliban tortured her and forced her to sign a confession document. eventually releasing her. the activists recently arrived in germany,

but remains haunted by the inhumane conditions she endured. tom dol talk more with allied us for hamstead, where the toilet was in the same room where they kept me from home on wicked and performing the taliban were watching me all the time. i'll talk even when i was using the toilet, come washing myself. um, or just walking in the room. but mama, i had to cover myself with a cloak while using the toilet about a war passamore. i had no privacy asunder. as among tolliver had him a whole seaman, american amish of the colon, nuts, philomena. on for more on the hiring situation for women in afghanistan were joined now by canadian african artist and human rights activist. and i hate a shot on the me are miss charlie me. thank you so much for joining us, sir. we've just heard about the harsh conditions that prov, anna lived under while in afghanistan to women, there still face restrictions on their basic human rights. and thank you so much for having me here. um, yes it is. there is over 30 decrease right now that have been implemented. and

within afghanistan, specifically gender discriminating on the basis of gender. and these decrees are not only implemented in practice, but rather also in policy, which is, which is a huge um, which is a huge concern which should be a huge concern also for the of all of the human rights communities around the world . and this is, you know, hearing stories like this makes it even more important to be, to have this documentation which we don't have those mechanisms anymore on the ground. so all of these decrease go from mobility to education, a to a, you know, covering your face and, and all of that is already been implemented. but moving around on the streets of hobble or of street, of any, any city in afghanistan without any good reason is also been kind of, you know, restricted to in certain places. but what kind of them. so education,

the basic human rights afghanistan is still the only country in the world that does not allow it's young girls to go to secondary schools. so we should be infuriated, jesus, well, a loss. a lot of women are, i'm in despite the danger. countless african women continue to take to the streets to protest, but not just in afghanistan, also around the world. do you think that these protests are having any impact? i think purchase searched really important. we see this today more than ever. and especially when it comes to a to, to women's rights. and also there's, there's this movement that has been created this year of this year with has our genocide, these are, these are topics that, that need to be on the streets of the world. otherwise, we don't get anywhere because the minute you see this in this side that the minute that it is out of the media light, then you don't have any kind of attention to it. we do have a un mandate that is a very robust, robust mandate that was written a resolution 20202626 that was written in march of this year. and if we are able to

implement that, and by that, i mean if by we, i mean, the international community has to put pressure in order to implement that. and a lot of the african women actually sat and wrote that with worked with the international community to write that you in mandate. and under all of those, all of these things that we talk about is really there. so protest is the one thing we have to recognize that there is a suppression against a community like the has, are, as there is a suppression against against half of the population of afghanistan. and we have data that is coming out of afghanistan right now. that says that women, household, women, lead households get close to no access to food. we haven't got one percent. a 2 percent. i believe if i'm not mistaken, that get access to food to we're talking about, you know, existence as of right. half the population 1000000 people in afghanistan, right. ah, no heater, shylie me artist and human rights activist
