ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, ukraine's president orders more reinforcement for the defense of back note. regional commander's vow to continue their defense of the embattled city even as russian forces tightened their grip on surrounding areas. also coming up, israel is offering keep an early warning system that it uses when palestinian

rockets are fired. but can it helps save lives from russian as strikes. and china's foreign minister tells report says that beijing should seek closer relations with russia and warns of conflict and confrontation if the u. s. does not change its path on beijing plus toddlers, mothers, village elders, all slaughtered and ethiopian t cry, region. the w, his disturbing details from survivors, the massacre allegedly committed by or a train soldiers in the days before p steel came into fulls of november. ah, my manuscripts, mccann, and thanks so much for joining us. president vladimir zalinski has ordered military commanders to send reinforcements to help you in troops defending the besieged city

of back. moot, now, doubts are emerging over the strength of russian forces trying to capture the eastern city. the head of the wagner mercenary group has admitted his troops are running out of ammunition. the battle for buck mood is the fiercest of the war so far, and has cost thousands of lives. the fighting has been so intense embankment. one ukrainian commander described it as utter hell. now instead of retreating, these troops will reinforce their positions and attempt to reclaim lost ground. they're determined to save the city, but the enemy is also unrelenting. yeah, but my when it though it was for free or to play for think 5th through moore's forces at us to justify the aim of their so called special operations. will you please for, but i think we probably about computers important because it cuts across roadways

and it's higher ground for with football, from its height. everything here is open for the russians. so it's important for both us and them was when we'd learn, how can we learn? we call it so many of them are dying hire. i don't understand why i was immune to be sure that it looked rushes expected spring offensive. could hit a snag with a parent disunity in its ranks part of its quest to capture ukraine's. don bass region has been fronted by mercenaries from the wagner group who have emerged as rivals of the russian military. even though this supposed to be partners are advanced resilience good. but wagner's owner yevgeny proportion, and alo, vladimir putin, is now warning his fighters might not be able to hold on. because moscow has not replenished their ammunition with him. what they, you do we, if we retreat you, then we'll go down in history forever as people who've taken the main step towards

losing the war. roverson way, whoever wins control of batman will not have much of a city left. after 6 months of fighting its buildings are in ruins, and most of its residents have fled still as one of the oldest cities in the don bass region. it remained symbolic. although the only visible symbol right now is one of devastation or ukraine's ability to defend its territory against russia is dependent on the supply of high tech weapons from its allies. he has repeatedly appealed to israel for help that israel has so far restricted its support. a humanitarian aid and pledges to help with rebuilding. it's keen to maintain a neutral stance and not to upset russia, but israeli is have offered to deliver an early warning system to alert civilians when russian missiles are heading. that way. here's a look at how much of

a difference this system might make. ah, when russian missiles target ukraine cities, it's the ukrainian air force that raises the alarm. it uses both radar and intelligence information to detect attacks. over the past year, russia has pummeled ukrainian cities with air raids and drone attacks destroying infrastructure and all too frequently killing civilians to 3 annoy through. so could israel's renowned early warning system built to warn of palestinian rockets help save lives in ukraine? the system in israel includes a cellphone up, which most is right is have it produces an alert when a threat is identified, the system uses a mix of radar and electro optic devices to detect an incoming air raid. it also triggers sirens and messages on television and radio. you can classify both the

size of the threat and pinpoint on a map the areas that are in danger. so it's very specific, at least when it comes to predicting the rockets typically fired by palestinian militants. they keep to a ballistic trajectory, making it possible to predict the area where they'll hit russian forces in ukraine by contrast, mainly use cruise missiles that can change that direction. that makes it much harder to calculate where they'll hit. still during a visit to key of last month, israeli foreign minister, eli cohen renewed a pledge to help ukraine develop a similar system for its citizens. the process is expected to take several months and what initially be a pilot project that will only cover one city likely keith, ukraine's president for laudermill zalinski has welcome this commitment. but what ukraine really wants is israel's multi layered missile defense system, including the famous iron dome. this system actually shoots down miss aisles

and is extremely effective, but supplying that is a step that israel is so far not willing to take. and from war we can brandy w correspondence, tenure claim, who's in jerusalem, and i'm in a thief who joins us from keith. tanya, we just heard. now israel is providing ukraine with humanitarian aid, but it is not offering the ion dome. this missile defense system, which is something that ukraine really wants, can you explain to us israel's reasons it well is what has its own very own strategic interest? and these are many related to its northern neighbor, syria here in the region. and it has really tried to keep relations with both ukraine and with russia since russia in bay, in the since the russian invasion of ukraine. and it also needs to keep this

delicate balance with this other close at its closest ally the united states. so as you said, it has always pledged and delivered humanitarian aid. in the beginning, they established a field hospital in ukraine. there's also talk about sharing of intelligence, but it has refrained from delivering any weapon systems. and it's not just a talk about the iron dome is, well, it's very successful or with other weapon system like a beam, which is not yet fully functional or the arrow system or it does, it sling all systems that ukraine is reportedly being interested in thought it has again pledged to deliver an early warning system as we've seen in the report that is in itself tied very closely to the iron dome. and it has been pledged already last year by then defense minister benny guns. now, the reasons behind it for is one of the main reasons is that it needs to keep

a very close coordination in relationship with russia to keep what is usually described by security analysts as it freedom of action in the syrian skies. russia is an ally of the syrian regime. it largely controls or partly controls the syrian skies and is well if carrying out air strikes there in recent years, against what it describes as iranian targets, weapon deliveries. and it wants to prevent yvonne entrenchment on its northern borders. and that's why it's so keen on keeping, you know, this relationship also with russia open. i mean, if you to give us the ukrainian perspective, why is this iron down system so important to keep it will. the 1st answer is because it would contain missiles, which after a year of war with russia, those are in short supply. but it wouldn't be a game changer. ukraine has an early warning system. we get alerts on our phones,

or when there's a suspected aerial attack. ukraine also a shooting down a russian missiles. it's hypersonic missiles, often even a ballistic missiles, with its own aerial defense system. a don't forget ukraine is also training its troops to operate the us patriot defense system, which is a superior in some ways to the iron dome in a shooting down ballistic missiles, which is what a key of is most usually under attack from because it's so far away from the frontline, but there's also a political aspect here and that because ukraine feels that if we can get israel to deliver a weapon system, this would not only break the ice and give you credit access to more of israel's arsenal hopefully. but would also politically isolate russia, which believes that israel right now is happy to sit on the fence. and what about the relationship between year and ukraine and, and israel, i mean, do ukrainian see israel as a, as an ally. amen. an ally, but not

a close ally as zalinski gave an interview in september where he said he was absolutely surprised at israel there to give them nothing, nothing 0. and now it seems that israel's warming up a bit and i think zalinski knows that israel is a potential close ally and is causing that relationship and hopefully not trying to isolate israel, but bring them into the western fold of countries that are supplying ukraine with military equipment. thank so much d, w correspondence. i'm in a thief in keith and tanya they met in jerusalem. thanks so much to beth at china's foreign minister has warned that there will be quote, confrontation and conflict between china and the u. s. if washington does not change its approach to his country, speaking on the side lines of the national people's congress, china's rubber stamp parliament, foreign minister. when jang also hailed the relationship between beijing and moscow, he said it's set an example for how foreign relations should be conducted and heels

and blame the us for rising tensions or the taiwan far. china's foreign minister also announced that diplomatic ties with russia will be strengthened further journalist audience freshman. his in beijing told me more. yeah, i mean, he was praising the bilateral ties between the china and russia as quote unquote, setting a model for the international stage. and he also mentioned that they are strategic partners. ship that is characterized by labor. neighborliness will continue to advance under head of states seating ping and flooding me. putting now to give you some context, this really very cozy rhetoric and friendly rhetoric is not very surprising. china has always been very close and very loyal and towards russia throughout the whole of the last year when russia attacked ukraine. and it's also interesting how chin gung, china's foreign minister frame to the warrant ukraine. he didn't call it of war. he basically said it's a ukraine crisis,

and he also didn't mention it mentioned russia as the aggressor basically did not criticize russia with one syllable. he said that basically the war or the, the conflict as he said, it resulted because of the european security architecture. but he also made it clear that china has not delivered any weapons to either side of this conflict. no, can he? of course, he also spoke at length about us relations was openly critical about american policy towards sh beijing. what was he and specifically criticizing? well that was really remarkable. i'm. he was really critical. he said that if a u. s. will not continue or will continue with its mistaken course. then nothing could prevent an escalation and a lot of yeah, a conflict and, and, and m yup. and negativeness will follow, so basically wasn't in direct threat also. and specifically he was criticizing the

u. s. policy towards a taiwan and when asked whether he would could rule out a military escalation. he also said that i'm actually a, we a reserved to have to use all means in this conflict and, or even the 2nd law in china will m specifically say, so that, that they reserve every means. so clearly also a military threat. and that is really remarkable. because i'm just or 2 days before prime minister leakage young had a rather subdued tone. but now of course, sheets, chin, gangs, i'm speech or his press conference was really much more hawkish and much more aggressive. not at all, mincing his words. journalist attack and pitch my in beijing. thanks so much for that. all right, let's take a look at some of the other news making headlines around the world. sh. at least 15 people were killed when heavy rains triggered land flies on a remote island in indonesia. dozens more. i fought to be missing. rescue efforts of being hindered by poor weather. communications with the area are also down.

widespread disruption is expected across france to day, as millions strike against president nicole's pension reforms. almost all train and metro services will be suspended and schools across the country will be closed for 2nd day of strikes over the proposed reforms. since mid january, mexican authorities have rescued more than $300.00 migrants left abandoned and a truck trailer. around a 3rd were unaccompanied children. the trailer carrying the travellers was equipped, the people smuggling with fans and ventilation ports and none of the migrants were harmed. central and south american leaders have been meeting in ecuador capital, quito. the summit aims to strengthen democracy, human rights, and the rule of law or the region. the group also includes costa rica, the dominican republic and panama. now turkey's government has been criticized for its handling of the earthquake off to martha,

and that is likely to be reflected in the election campaign. an alliance of opposition parties has agreed on a joint candidate to challenge president rich have type ada one k mile. it collects, darrow lieu of the republican peoples policy, will run against at one, and polls scheduled in mid may and opinion survey suggest it will be the closest contest in 2 decades are corresponded in istanbul. dorian jones told us more about killing de road fully 74 year old who's having a veteran of turkish politics these many ways is the opposite of president nerd one . he's very quiet. he doesn't have many people say the career, my over one, but he seems amount of integrity and also a man who's very resolute. and he can, he's could issues from turkeys, ethnic minority curves, and also an elevator, this liberal islamic sect which many conservative tubs consider his heritage. and

if you'll say that was another reason why close to little will struggle in the campaign. but despite all of those things, he has risen to the top of turkish politics, the leader of the main opposition party. and he is re shaped his party, but he took it over in 2010, 10, that in the water. no 140 could ever challenger the one, he's rebuild the parties. now that policy controls for out of the 5 main cities in turkey, including the prices of his stumble and on growth. but critic still say he is never won an electron against one. but this one is expect to be the closest in old ones. her history during change reporting that she to if you're p as t cry region. now, where reports are emerging of a large scale massacre that happened just days before last november's p. steel was signed. witnesses say that more than $300.00 people were massacred in the villages around the town of ottawa in t grey. the killings were an apparent retaliation for

a battlefield defeat, inflicted by the t gray liberation front on era tray and forces who were facing on the side of the ethiopian government troops. now rights groups have accused era trained soldiers of frequent mass killings, systematic rape, and sexual slavery during the brutal 2 year war. he doubly was able to gain access to the region and here from survivors and a warning that some people might find the following reports upsetting. i better had her go, survived a massacre where more than 300 villages were killed. it happened just days before a deal was signed ending the warranty gray. she had heard rumors of people being killed. so she and her family went into hiding near the house. cuz the on the land got on the deal, when the cattle starts to make noises, my son and husband left for the house to see what was happening. and then

a soldier came and killed them both. i love the woman who i thought she heard shots being fired. it wasn't a retreat and soldiers. she says, here's where he shot the door. inside her hut, she found a bloodbath. her husband 70 year old biddy by shot dead on the floor, folding his cross under his head. he had been a priest, lee yea. at the bottom i told him i told my daughter, your father is dead. we carried him into the living room and there we found my son all for lee and they were shocked that covered them and cried, happened to her 28 year old son. good day, betty, who had been planning to marry soon after it had gone. and her daughter were too scared of the soldiers were occupying the village. they stayed in the house with bodies for 4 days south with no family to cold. and then i went to the church to

see if i can very been there. and every tree. and so just said, no, he said it was us who a tech. i just want a young. she buried her husband and son in her back yard of the 2 months they were finally moved to the church graveyard. since then, after head huggles hasn't slept well, she is overcome with grief. has a great they must be held accountable. it was civilians killed. they killed the people instead of fighting the soldiers. according to the administration of the town of the soldiers slaughtered more than 300 people in various villages, over the course of just one week. witnesses, se every tree and forces took revenge on civilians after suffering a defeat on the battlefield. at theda a by a social worker recorded 91 people who were killed in the village of marianna. chevy 2 over 3 days north and a half on the if i had it of the 91 victim,

a 112 women, such as were religious leaders. and we're going to have to know when we looked at the ages, they were from 2 years and 92 years old when they killed, taught us little girls entire families. often the soldiers tied the victims hands before executing them. in one case, both parents were murdered in front of their 5 children, and his ad goes the mark. they killed the mother and mutilated her breasts with a knife. after they killed her, they put the baby on top of her coffee and my. these findings are a testament to the gruesome violence that happened here at cedar, i by hopes that her records will one day help justice to be served. the united nations says the taliban, the treatment of women and girls in afghanistan could amount to a crime against humanity. the hardliners have cut back on women's civil freedoms,

including the rights to attend school and university university, enough honest. on reopen this week after the winter break, but also the taliban bod female students in december. the only students to return will mail back to class after the winter break. at the chance to catch up with friends after time away. but the only sign of women at this private university in kabul is on the walls. and the post is encouraging female students to wear ahead job. or am i to have life here before the taliban band, women from higher education late last year? i mean, we didn't have any issue with our sisters having segregated classes from us. i'll point was that even if they had to study alone, we were happy about it. last year we were segregated and they was studying who were

happy about it. there was no issue with it. that's what i mean. yeah. the ruling in december was met with protest submit wide spread global outrage with many of those taking to the streets, young women now being denied access to higher education such as music burtwell. my personal view is that if girls are not educated, half of the society will be paralyzed. so half of the society needs to come out of this paralysis. the more progress you have in a society, the better goals are also human or whatever they love, all like whatever they want to become in the future. they must continue and they must study in schools or at university wide from room or can jo mccormick elsewhere with the taliban says the decision to bar women from university classrooms was made because dress codes and gender based religious restrictions were being ignored. the country is now among the most restrictive in the world for women's education, with a similar band still in place for girls at secondary school. the united nation says

the direct his could create a last generation, claiming every one has the right to an education. marion sofie founded the organization from policy research and development studies, which is based in afghanistan, now that the un have labeled the telephones, treatment of women as possible, crime against humanity. we asked marianne if she believes there will be any real consequences. ford militants to be very clear what we're seeing right now from the international community is really not a concerted effort there for actual communities, very much divided among themselves in terms of what those key red lines are, what can or cannot be acceptable. so i don't see that there is an international consensus on consequences towards the taliban. there are about 10 countries that are officially given. the embassies, i've got a sense embassies over to the taliban. 2 of those members are members of the us to

curity council. being russia in china, so it's quite difficult to say, but of course there are consequences and there should be. and some of those consequences could be the fact that right now, there are serious are 1st under play to look at the situation and ganeth than the gender apartheid. and to be able to frame it legally as that into, in front of the international criminal court. of course, there's also the case of international recognition to the taliban, which i don't think that that contractual community, even those who have given embassies over, will be doing anytime soon in light of the edicts that the taliban have been issuing over time again. i was my, i'm a funding director of the organization for policy research and development studies in afghanistan. now just got some time for some football news and brazilian star
