ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from building another russian miss all strike on civilian infrastructure in new crime. 5 story apartment building is almost completely destroyed. several victims were killed this, they slipped in the southern city of separation. laid us meeting in india file to agree on a joint approach to the war you crime. russian foreign minister surg elaborate blamed the west for blocking the joint status also on the program. a series of

mystery poisoning cases at schools in iraq or our claims hotline religious groups could be trying to stop gills, getting an education. ah, i'm anthony how to walk into the program. we begin in ukraine where at least 4 people have been killed in a russian missile attack on an apartment building in the southern city of separation. a search and rescue operation is underway to find people still trapped under the bubble president. for lot of miss lensky has condemned the strike and vowed to drive all occupies out of you, correct. the russian missile hits overnight. turning this 5 story building into a mangold ruin of rubble and deborah authority say many residents here were asleep in their homes. when the attack happened with no time to escape

fluid, you couldn't shylie, the people were screaming. it was hard to hear, you know, which we were shocked. the rest just came and the people were under the robin. ha ha ha ha! from the wall i may go to work. out for rescuing the desperate search for signs of life is a dangerous one. but the reward is worth it. your don't let me. as more people are pulled from the rubble injured, but a life chill over a man, it's 30 years old. oh, slept on a couch. got trapped by a concrete slab when the rocket hit it for almost 3 hours, rescue was worked to recovering from under the slab. he is alive and well. it was in the old way. everything is fine. julie's that always have said no but but there is little comfort for those able to walk away from the ruins on a waiting bus. they watch on his rescue as pig 3. what's left of their homes. more

lives now shattered by rushes. ongoing aerial assault on ukraine and its people they w correspondence. connelly is in cave and gave us this update on the attack in separation . we casualty numbers are still not conclusive. there's talk of numerous people still unaccounted for in terms of people living nearby to the wounded. we know that it was one pregnant woman who survived this attack, but there is expectation that because of thumbs could still rise. we also believe that this was a russian s $300.00 michelle. this is what was previously an anti aircraft. and to kind of air defense ballistic system that the russians are now converting all mass to attack. you claim positions, they're running out of other kinds of missiles and this isn't a cruise. and so this is a ballistic missile that moves a lot fast with lot harder to in set. and it's basically one that feels like the procedure that early a couple of dozen clumped us away from the front lines,

basically pretty vulnerable to this is not the 1st time separation and the surrounding region have been targeted by russian strikes. what is it about the city itself and its location, make it important for russia strategically? well, this is the capital region that russia, after all claims for itself that russia has an export of the pots that it currently controls and considers the entirety of the region to be crushed and churchy. this is a very important logistics and industrial hub, not very far away from the front lines that supreme power plant that's in russian hands is not far away. this is a central kind of help for ukraine's i'll be in the south the country. so that is possible list, but also, you know, we saying that sometimes again, rushes weapons just all precise. so if they are attacking, since you like this, it even attacking more legitimate military targets. they have no way of guaranteeing that civilians are not going to be hitting all of this and they certainly not singing doing much to avoid them. so we seen tom, tom again, severe infrastructure, but also civilian housing being attacked,

people losing their lives. and this, the city that has already lost a lot of population, lots people, i'll just simply not willing to take these risks and leavings a patricia to a developing story. there are reports about an alleged attack by ye crying alon soldiers on russian soil. what do we know about an incident in the russian town of brianna? this is a very, very complex situation for now. the russian government, russian, state media are accusing ukraine of sending saboteurs, quote, saboteurs into russian territory. basically they meant that the suggestion be that these are ukranian special forces and that they have seemingly, according to rush media, attacked school, boston taking people hostage. but there are lots of very, mutually exclusive claims there. so lots of this seemingly shifting and no real clear picture of what the russian government side is. these supposed it ukraine saboteurs of doing. but then to make things even more complex,

we've had this claim responsibility by an anti putin russian group that is affiliated, as you mentioned, that a with the ukranian all me. so it's pretty difficult to tell what is happening if anything at all, but certainly as a real sense of fear here in ukraine that russia might take this, that this, that with ukraine side claims is that your full slag operation that russia might take this as a kind of pretext, sean riley russians around the flag to get them involved with this war effort. gates ukraine, get people engaged to tell ordinary russians that they also at risk from ukraine. so that a real worry here that this can be used for an escalation. and that there might be retaliation attacks from the russian side in the days and weeks come, the w correspondent, mckinley keep, thank you to explore these claims by russia about an attack in the russian town of brianna. further, i turned the dw moscow bureau chief, you remember shadow? he's now best in the latvian capital, brigitte, because d, w is banned in russia. i asked him what exactly the russians are saying happened in brioche. well,

antony isn't just mentioned so far. the situation has remained pretty unclear as it had been reports from the ocean state media about alleged saboteurs from ukraine who entered to one or 2 village villages in the border area and started shooting. and the governor of brians sat at once. the lid was killed and a child was wounded. according to other reports, an arm person have taken people hostage in a grocery store. however, this was denied a later as well, and then it was set as cool. boss had come under fire, but authorities denies is to alternately, the russian youth agency task report that, that, that the group or submit to us includes several dozen armed people from ukraine. so all in all we've been hearing many different reports and several disclaimers. we can only say that obviously a group of armed people appeared on the russian side of the border. there has been obviously shooting and there was some injured or death among the victims. you read? what does the classification of the incident as a terrorist attack? mean for the area, look at terrorist attack is

a higher level of escalation than simple and armed robbery, especially from the point of the of you are of the authorities. and terrorist attack is something that may be countered with special measures, which i state of emergency higher powers or the security services. and tara attacks are always within the competence of the secret service, which is the f as b, and not as a simple police are. but the all important question entity is, of course, was it a terrorist attack at all? and was it an attack from outside from ukraine, or an attack organized by the russian partisans or even staged by the f is b, some high ranking ukrainian politicians or support this version and called the attack a classical and provocation asked, i believe the situation then on the russian side of the border and is there genuine fear that we could see more of these type of incidence in the near future? while the entire border region has been

a single or restricted areas in february last year, by the way, almost the entire south of russia is restricted area 11 russian airports has been closed for over a year and not without reason. there have been more and more shootings, explosions and allegedly, rockets attacks, especially in the last few months. of course, this cannot be compared with the suffering of the ukrainians, but life on the russian side is no longer easy and safe either. i think even if we assume that today's brown's attacks are in fact and intelligence staging, we conclude, we can conclude that the broader the bloodier, the war for russia becomes. the more reason moscow will have to justify this war if you crannies are behind it. that's also possible, then their revenge is justified from the grain in point of view in saw in may also happen more often in the future the dublin years shadow. thanks so much. a meeting of the g 20 countries in india has ended in disagreement of the board in ukraine. india's foreign minister said differences on the invasion could not be

reconciled. the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking, spoke briefly with his russian opposite number. so get love rav if 1st face to face meeting since the start of the war blinking says he made it clear to lever. busy that the international community condemns the invasion. i told the foreign minister what i and so many others said last week at the united nations. and what so many g 20 foreign minister said today. and this war of aggression engage in meaningful diplomacy. that can produce a just and durable piece, so that some practice with a devilish chief international editor, richard walker. it joins me in the studio. going to say, richard, no communicate. we're talking about what we don't have here. we just heard from secretary of state antony blinking. what more did he have to say? yeah, well, he's really pointing out the, the sort of gulf between the position that the u. s. and the west is kind of been leading in being critical of russia invasion of ukraine on the one side and,

and russia and china. the other side of what we're seeing here in this form in this meeting of the g 20 in delhi today is a sign that the russian and chinese position in these diplomatic forest seems to be hardening. as we heard from tony blinking there at the end of these meetings, you try to come up with what's called a communicate. so a big text with all sorts of points in it, saying these are the things that we all agree on. and usually that's given as a sort of a sign of has as the meeting been a success or not, you know, if you don't get a communicate together, if people can't agree on that is seen as you know, a failure. and indeed, it was not possible to agree on a final communicate that everyone could agree on. because russia and china objected to passages talking about ukraine war as we have from tony blinking, russian, china actually agree to those very same passages, exactly the same text,

which was in the communicate from the bali g 20 summit. so the summit of all the leaders of the g 20, which was only 4 months ago. so it's interesting sign that the u. s. a. china and russia p to be hardening in their positions. we've seen china kind of making moves recently starting to talk about like presenting what it called a position paper. it's few on what an political solution to this war could look like a position paper that was infused with its opposition to the united states. actually blaming the united states for the outbreak of that war. so you have all the one had the russia and china kind of getting closer together. and china potentially using its position on the ukraine as part of what is emerging into kind of cold war between us and china. so you really see like kind of express through this failure to get to communicate just how difficult situation the world is at the moment between these 2 polls. so what's the dynamic here? are the u. s. in europe alone versus russia and china is that, that simple world?

not, not really. because if you look at the numbers here, you had russia and china objecting to these passages about ukraine war and the rest of the g. 20. not because they'd already signed off on it in bali 4 months ago. so it's really rush and china that looking isolated is w's. richard walker, thanks so much. the invasion of ukraine a year ago prompted a shop you turn in germany's defense policy. chantelle, all of shots announced a sharp rise in spending on the armed forces. no shelter told parliament what he believes has been achieved and what still needs to be done. it's been one year since chancellor of charles announced what he called that satan vendor at turning point for germany. shots is government committed to significantly increasing funding for german defense and started sending heavy weapons to ukraine, including state of the art tanks, taking stock a year after that pivotal speech shots made clear germany will continue supporting

ukraine's defense sweden sleeve. one thing piece does not mean submitting to a bigger neighbor. if you crank stopped defending itself, it would not be peace, but the end of ukraine crate yet. but he said germany needs to increase the capabilities of its own army. also by upping the production and purchase of weapons and ammunition by the lid, defense minister historian and i are talking to the defense industry about a real change of track towards rapid planning oriented and efficient procurement of defense equipment for the bonus. vale and other european armies feel a little pressure on the state of the opposition says progress is too slow. you see, i'm furnished, you quite rightly mentioned co operation with the arms industry and with european partners. though, why were weapons orders? why were decisions not already made in the last year or for links in blitz?

yoga california z ha. marie agnes. scott zimmerman is chair of the defense committee and a member of the governing coalition. she says much has been achieved in the last year, but there is still room for improvement, is impulsively, we're still not fast enough. we have to become faster on the one hand because of the war and ukraine. but also because we have an obligation towards nieto and that means more equipment or more personal mia pals. ronald does all because such a shift in germany's defense and security policy was almost unthinkable before russia invaded ukraine. but more work remains for the german government is to truly make good on its promises or german chancellor. all sorts also had a message for china and his address to the buddhist talk earlier today. the deputies chief political correspondent, nina hossa was listening in a little i showed, sees china as the main player. one of the main players are together with india,

perhaps in this conflict because as all of charges keeps pointing out, this is not just about russia versus ukraine. this is about an aggressive, challenging of the international orders, the international treaties, violating everything that the world order stands on. and which is why he says he needs the support from other countries around the world. and he reiterated again, how important it was that last week in new york, the united nations in the general assembly passed a vote to irv with overwhelming support of the message. essentially, russia has to stop this war. this is to condemn these actions are not an acceptable . so in his message today, we'll have swords as spoke about urban china's message from last year where they warned against nuclear escalation. all i showed celebrated that at the time, as one of his big diplomatic successors because he travelled to beijing and as he's in pings stood next to him when he, when he uttered those words, saying a nuclear escalation is something that we're strongly warning against. and the

china still has not officially condemned of russia's war and has not to used its influence enough. says the german chancellor. he also referred to that piece plan that china put forward last week where china warned against the use of nuclear, but also biological and chemical weapons. so there is a very clear signal coming out of germany here today that china should do more to stop this war from expanding and from letting and aggress i get away with these actions from the nasa at the bonus tag. let's take a look now at some of the other news headlines from around the world, nigerian presidential candidate of peter, alby says he is the real winner of saturday's elections and we'll go to court to contest the outcome. official results. put him in 3rd place, ruling party candidate, bullet newburgh was declared. the victor independent observers say they have seen no evidence of vote fraud. vietnam's new president for fun to own,

toxic gas. it doesn't of schools, not the incident on again, in november. several politicians have suggested the attacks have been carried out by groups opposed to girls education. the iranian health minister says he's investigating this alleged attacks. i asked as of a pause of the runny and the running page to research at source university of london. if the regime can be trusted in this investigation and not a ryan regime cannot be trust, that is fine. and as the, as the world has seen, a track record of a 2022 until today. and as those of us monitor the situation optimize your own closely for decades, know that this regime is that very much explicitly discriminatory against women and girl children as well. as other groups

of iranian citizens, and it's quite true, christine, they are currently speculations that perhaps while there is a public claims that are quote unquote radical she a groups behind it. as we understand that maybe 3 individuals are asked that. but the speculations is that perhaps this is part of the continuation of abuse against protest and potentially a form of revenge against school children and girls in particular, who participated in my life. freedom of things as i do, we know at this point is the government taking any steps to protect a school girls i as i understand, no, it is not doing so in fact. d as a is coming out of iran where you see, for example, that mother of a school girl at, you know, asking, demanding accountability and individuals who basically look like they're wearing

the clothes of that. you know, there are no, you know, the police are beating her. we know that a association of teachers have been calling for accountability and investigations and are also calling a potential like a chemical, essentially a chemical attack against the children. and so some, some families are scared to take their children to the hospitals. and so i do on this, as you see there is literally 0 trust in the government's willingness to take adequate action in life, in line with what is happening. and even though this guessing this school has started since november, and it only escalates and since this sunday, no, they haven't use on time that had to do any, any real investigation,

nor is their system as set up for an actual in independent investigation. at this point, as of the girls education has not so far been a target in iran, as it has been, for instance in afghanistan. is this happening right now? do you think? because women and girls applying a prominent role in anti government protest? yes, i know you are right. i girls education and women's higher education is you know, and not that's all comparable, for example, to what's happening in afghanistan at least in the more affluent areas of the country and the urban settings of the country. but also one of the worries is that a good public, it has shown on time and time again, even when it has, as you know, lots of progressive policies towards women are defined marginalized groups. it

seems that it's not serving, it seems as it does not shy away from reversing those policies to learn back or policies. for example, many years ago iran was being applied by the international community for birth control plan and that countries action plan. and as you know, when it sounds like it's not, it's interesting, it's very rapidly a revised policy against women and criminalize a potentially considering, you know, reversing it's education policy as of a pause on from so us in the university of london. thanks so much for your time. thank you. many communities in britain are suffering from both the economic full out of briggs of and the boy and you credit. but some are rolling round to help themselves in one town in western wiles. locals have banded together to save a well loved hardware shop from closure, by taking their own stakes in the business. all appears normal in the small wells

town of new york. home to just over a 1000 people, there are full paths, a handful of shops and a hardware store habits. i'm after. don't leave a dodge. i love those. but just over a year of the brag, said residence received the news that harvard was closing. after nearly 150 years and business. it was a bombshell. every one was really, really, really upset that we would lose it. no one could imagine life without their frying pans and kitchen essentials. so new put residents set about raising nearly half a 1000000 pounds and to go with the shop themselves. who's now employees get help from volunteers who are not for profit organization, the profits go straight back off to costs and paying a small amount of a shareholder interest. go straight back into the community. a helpful source of funding and tough times and, and post breaks at britain

e. u. money is now solely missed and rule wales new ports club house, for example, was partly paid for by the you. the welsh government expects a shortfall of over a 1000000000 pounds over the next 5 years. so some in the region are taking the initiative. obviously the loss of european funding is going to be a blow, but we will have to no seek of the funding post within the community and to watch government on u. k. government. a new port residents have stepped in themselves to say the heart of their community. more than 500 people now own shares and habits west wales which is predominantly rural, is seeing young people leave in droves. shops are closing everywhere and the cost of of energy means many small shops are struggling and our closing, we see in the news every day local shops offering. but by having a community shop,
