talk, listen, it's our future after all. and if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air free lunch. wanted to get on your 3 field this week. and d, w ah ah, ah, this is a dw news live from berlin. western nations try to cut moscow's funding for its war and ukraine. the a you agrees to cap the price of russian oil to $60.00 a barrel. joining an effort by the united states and the g 7 also coming up. after more than a year of taliban rule in afghanistan,

women who speak out still face severe repercussions. we meet one woman who is forced to flee her country after doing just that. and another world cup, surprise, south korea's last minute winner against portugal, sees them qualify for the last 16 and put or of white out of the turn ah unexpired. welcome to the program. european union countries have agreed to put a cap on the price of russian oil currently at $60.00 a barrel. the move aims to reduce moscow's ability to fund its war in ukraine with revenue from petroleum exports. the e u joins the united states and other g 7 nations in sanctioning russian oil, which recently traded at about $65.00 a barrel measure will come into effect on monday and intensifies western pressure

on the kremlin over it's invasion of ukraine. european commission president ursula of underlines, said the price cap would have a wide range of implications. it will stabilize global energy markets because it allows some russian seaborne oil to be traded, brokerage transported by e u operators to set countries. as long as it is sold below the cap. so this price cap will benefit directly emerging and developing economies. and it will be adjustable over time so that we can react to market developments. together with our partners. we stand united and firm in our opposition to rush us. atrocious war. let's get some more on this from a russia analyst constantine exit. who's in the lithuanian capital values? can you tell us what effect will the oil price cap likely have for russia?

i don't think it will have a huge effect, frankly speaking because ah, there are many ways of bypassing this. um, member of this oil price cap concerns essentially mostly those who insure the shipments and those who transport russian oil, for example. ah, you may claim or russians may claim that or the oil is sold at $5999.00 while off to that. for example, the same country, for example, china or india will pay an extra rise for the se russian wheat which is not banned by sanction. so i think it will have more psychological effect. it will have some preference certain companies ago, for some of the insurance companies and transport companies be to be more cautious, but it will not be a disaster for the kremlin. and if we could just turn to the reason for this price cap, the war and ukraine, there's been heavy fighting again near bok, mood, in conditions described as similar to those of world war. one was a stake here,

a friend to speaking of. if you look at military analysis, for example, of the british institute, for the saudi, of all of those people who are professional, many of them ex military. ah, they do not understand what is actually the aim game here for russia. russia has been engaged in and around the mood for several months now. it spends a lot of material and a lot of men power on what seems to be at best, a tactical gain if this gain is actually achieved. i think what we did, what we're dealing with is with an 70 lack of overall strategy ah, by the russian a commanders and by potent finally with regard to what they are doing in the east of the grain. this battle is kind of a full and into m a z. i got of different small battles. each of them is not part of some kind of bigger overarching plan. and into that mosaic, the russian army is reportedly deploying newly mobilized troops on the front line.

will that change anything? i don't think so. these people are well for lack of better word. not being too politically correct. i cannot afford of puts him. ah, because he actually cannot bear, let us say the chinese board of the finish body. he construct full the whole russian army, few grains who has to basically rely on untrained conscripts which are going to die . oh muss. ah, what is going to follow that and that is my firm conviction is another mobilization than another mobilization. it's another matter that it may be conducted under some kind of all the guys, but people will be cold up. this will continue, and that's good to be more russian deaths on the front. ok, russia analyst konstantin anger. thank you for that insight. thank you. is look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. chinese authorities have begun closing coven 19 testing facilities in beijing. a further

a refugee in germany and spoke to dw news about her experience in prison. oh, call me back. thank you. 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 stoney. 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 that was something that could protect me from stoning. and i wonder why would stoning hurt one ha, active as part of one and is robbie spent $24.00 days in the taliban prison enough gun. this done. her work fighting for women's rights. put her in the hard line groups firing line. since seizing power

documentation of these cases are extremely important due to the decrees and we have over 30 close 35 degrees that have been implemented by the taliban since last august. since they took over the country, which is really it's it gender based discrimination. i'm all all around. and this is done through the impositions of again these, these dozens of restrictions which directly impact and nearly every aspect of women's lives. and that means that this, this, you know, on top of the, of a shortage of water, extreme drought, 30 out of the 34 provinces are facing the shortage shortage of water. and, and because of the makram, for example, decrease where they need to be accompanied by a chapter in a male chaplain. it also causes approximately close to 100 percent of the women headed households. not to have any access sufficient access to food and only 10 percent of the women can cover basic health needs. so we are facing truly am

a is it is a disaster. and still, afghanistan is the only country in the world that does not allow, as young girls to go to secondary schools. so this is, that should be truly, i am on the top of the agenda of the international community and u. n. and all of the other agencies, because it is, it is really acute, it's a, it's a very bad situation. i want to get to the international community in just a 2nd. but if we can focus on the protests that we were just hearing described, and the consequences countless other after women continued to take to the streets to protest, not just in afghanistan, but around the world. do you think that can have an impact on the taliban? somehow? of course a person that puts a lot of pressure and this pressure needs to be put on them. it is due to this movement that is literally single handily been been been m a been going around the world inside of afghanistan and outside of afghanistan by the women of, of, by the african women and in solidarity with some other women of the world. that is
