women's day turns the spotlight on women's struggles around the globe. if someone who doesn't think like me or dressed like me, doesn't have freedom, then i don't have freedom either. in iran, many women say that they are seeing more liberties on the streets, but that the transition is very much a work in progress. and in the champions league, buyer munich gets set to host perry sandra mon, at home, the bavarian. it's happening slightly. a. p. s. g is out to settle the score. ah, i'm sorry, kelly walked into the program. the head of the russian baghdad, mercenary group has claimed his fighters have now taken control of the eastern areas of bach. mote. the battle for the city and the don boss region, has been the deadliest of the war so far through ukraine's president followed him.

lensky has warned that it would be an open road for russian troops to other areas if they manage to capture back loot. zalinski has today been discussing ukraine's grain exports with the united nations secretary general antonio good ted ish. he has traveled to keep on a mission to secure an extension of the un broker deal between russia and ukraine. an aide to ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has denied cheve was involved in the destruction of the nord stream gas pipelines, the undersea pipelines which brought russian natural gas to germany, were blown up last september. now u. s. and german media citing u. s. intelligence have reported a pro ukrainian group may have carried out the attack. the kremlin, meanwhile, has dismissed the allegations as a quote attempt to read the news. this recording is from the moments after the nodes dream pipelines exploded and started leaking. guess.

countries have blamed each other for the damage since september 2022. now, new intelligence suggests that a pro ukraine group was behind it by one you, an aide to ukraine's president will order me a zalinski has denied any involvement by cave. russia, meanwhile, has dismissed the recall to foreign ministry spokesperson, muddy ella cordova. thieves tries to divert public attention and avoid of proper investigation. is that not stream pipelines $1.00 and $2.00 caddied natural gas from russia to germany. their destruction of the points seen here has been shrouded in mystery. the blasts echoed nearly half a year into rush of invasion of ukraine. various players could have had something to gain from the attack expert say, those include russian oligarchs. i mean, let's not forget that the oligarchy with

a powerful, biggest in russia, right up until just about a year ago. lots of very wealthy, influential and networks. people would have political, financial reasons, essentially, to help undermine business war effort and recover maybe some of what they had lost . meanwhile, us officials have said it isn't really too early to draw conclusions, and it belongs to 2 or 3 countries that are investigating exactly what transpired, our german allies, our swedish and danish partners as well. they've open investigation into, into what has happened. they, those investigations are ongoing. as we always do, we're going to let those investigations play out before we comments on any potential findings or conclusions. there are many marquee questions, who ordered the attack, who executed it, and who paid for it?

but perhaps the biggest question who is benefiting from it? and will we ever know alice bringing correspond mathias, pulling out his shining a snap and keep a lot to pick up our hair amity as. and i'd like to just begin without, you know, our top story, which is the head of russians, wagner mercenary group. if jennifer goes and saying that his group has taken full control of the eastern part of batman, what are you hearing? herb it's not been confirmed by the ukranian side. we are just hearing that heavy battles are continuing, but to the eastern part would mean all the part that says east of the small river that crosses this town. and that's possible because rivers are usually places where france can you come to a hold. so it's, it's, it's possible ukraine is defending and has been reinforcing its positions in bar mode. they have several times said they're not giving up what we,

what we know is that for a few days now, the battles have been happening within the city itself within the borders of the town. so it looks like each of the sides are throwing in a lot to get control of this settlement. okay, so that's the situation on the front lines. meantime in chief, we understand the un secretary general antonio, the chairs is there and bit concerns over a renewal of a grain export deal with russia. walk us through what's at stake air. so this green expert deal that has been concluded in summer, some time early summer last year that has allowed for ukraine to ship out grain out of its ports by a safe escort. the ukrainian ships escort the freight ships out of the ports and into her waters throughout the mine fields into international waters which are and then they had to it's done bul, where they, these 2 ships are changing. so that really only wants agreed upon grain and,

and sunflower seeds, et cetera, are on the board of these ships and the russians inter and commit to not attacking these ships. this was a major breakthrough and probably the most important deal between the 2 sides have been concluded. its been extended in november and at the moment the the actual extension last until next week. so if new new agreement is reached next week, it will be over. is that looking likely? what happened, sam? at yes. can they get it another dealer and extension? they're working behind her. yeah. behind the scenes, the jerky is as throwing in what they have in order to extend. ukraine is ready to extend because ukraine is of course the, the, the big benefit tier of this of this deal are moscow has said that it wants to discuss some other issues. moscow claims that her sanctions are actually harming

its own grain exports. these great exports are excluded from sanctions. that's part of the grain deal, but russia wants to lift some other sanctions, especially on the banking, sank sector, the financial sector, which claims hom, their own export. so that, so what is at stake? russia has threatened not to extend the grain deal our my think are all this is being discussed behind the scenes. we probably only know or what's really happening when a deal is either concluded or not concluded or russia has withdrawn once from the grain deal. but the other nations, ukraine and, and the shipping nations have called it bluff and continued to export. and russia then has a decided not to attack these grain ships and to return to this deal. so there's of a lot, a lot of, of, of blinking blinking game in this didn't these negotiations as well. keep having a correspondence test by again, keith, thank you. here's

a look at some other stories making headlines. police and demonstrators have flashed in george's capital tbilisi protests were taking place against a government bill that critics say would restrict free speech if enacted into law. the bill would force media companies and n g o z to register any links they have with entities outside of georgia. the new has condemned the legislation. residents in the central philippines have reported nacia and dizziness and villages close to the location of a major oil spell that happened to last week. the incident occurred off the coast of min doro island. when an oil tanker sank after experiencing engine trouble and rough seas. today's international women's day, it's not only an opportunity to celebrate women, but also an opportunity to highlight the struggles women around the globe still face in iran, for example,

the situation is still very dangerous for women. they're especially given the controls of the so called morality police. we have this exclusive report now from tehran, and we have blurred the faces of people appearing in this report for their own safety. this would have been impossible just 6 months ago, walking distress up to her on in your own choice of clothing. now it's not an uncommon sight any more like this university student. many women are taking theories, but it's still against the law. so to talk about it, we go inside crazy odd would. there were many reactions to me not wearing that he job people looking at me pulling faces or even coming up and insulting me. you're merely ating me, all very kindly and sentimentally advising me on what they consider right. my, but my biggest achievement from that period was that i became normal in the eyes of

those around me in what didn't go hats off you on a hold on one of the show here in von of to transpose shopping malls. it's playing to see women varying whatever they want in friendly coexistence, refusing to be divided by to slammed republics ideology, no matter what they've chosen for themselves personally. many says, i'm going to do that. this is how i show my religious identity to people. i'm fine with this, i'm comfortable. but i think that if i don't fight for the individual, freedom of the person sitting next to me, i'm actually destroying freedom as being about. if someone who doesn't think like me or dress like me, doesn't have freedom, then i don't have freedom either. because freedom is not for anyone. if it's not for everyone, i also think about hm. and i wish about history. and so in the past 5 months, many religious women have joined to protest as well as men not fighting against

a job, but for freedom equality and to white to choose. it's to mandatory her job that they see as a tool for oppressing them and said, i'm us and you do all i personally wouldn't not whether you just i just had an image on the job side and i turned in my opinion, this practice of not wearing it doesn't just mean that we are now physically. freya also has seen the physics your in the hallway. it's actually a form of resistance. and the issue of the his job has taken on a special meaning, korean war will not be hosted. great, i'm going to my son is a special meaning most people hearing to ron seem to either share or at least no longer mind. highlighting that the rift is not among iranians, but between them and their leaders. some sports for you now and in football. barissi
