after all, the employment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah ah, this is d w. news alive from berlin, emergency in the mediterranean, italy's coast guard rescues hundreds of migrants from vessels, spots are drifting off shore. the operation comes just days after the government announced it will be cracking down on people smugglers also coming up. russia's

wagner, mastery group claims, further advanced mode. the battle for control of the city and it's ukraine is intensifying. the front line is now reportedly on the river, dividing the city. ukrainian force is still holding the western bank. ah, i'm no longer, it's good to have you with us. italy's coast guard has rescued more than 1300 migrants from the mediterranean. local rescues were held by navy vessels and a fishing boat to bring people to shore from boats. what a drifting as far as a 160 kilometers off the coast. search and rescue efforts of the southern tip of calabria are still ongoing. over 4000 migrants have arrived in italy over the past 4 days. rescue centers in several areas are overcrowded. this latest rescue operation comes after italy's far right government and as tough new plans to crack

down on people smugglers. for more on the situation of the coast of italy, i spoke to janice teemer gupta in room. well, it's like what you mentioned essentially multiple operations over the course of friday and saturday. we understand over a 1000 my goods have been rescued or aided to be brought to italian, shows the italian coast guard bringing 500 for my goods on to the vessel and bringing them to reggie collaborative to south pasadena and not the bechtel was rescued with some 370 were taken on board the same vicinity the call got making it very clear that these operations were difficult to carry out. because these vessels carrying these migrants are very much overcrowded. and also you have a situation of course, of rough feeds, which is making that difficult for them to carry out the operations. 487 other my goods were escorted their boats was called to the calabria porch of tony. now this

port of course, is where there was that deadly ship wreck some 2 weeks ago that really shocked many italian coming. 10 years after the last such very deadly ship wreck to take place of the trail in coats. and then $200.00 people were also picked up off the sin sicilian coast. so yes, it's just been a massive number of people arriving over the last 2 days. the rescue my good center show to on the island of love to do the itself. all the run with some 3000 also my good to the shelter that really supposed to house just hundreds of migrants. so in total, if you look at the figures more than $17000.00 people have reached the italian shores this year alone. that compared to some 6000 in the 1st 2 and a half months of 2022. now the europe ian union has agreed to tougher sanctions to tackle what they call irregular migration is that you hear accommodating the far

right government in italy. well i think the, the far right government of georgia, maloney on her part. she had rejected that there was any problems in terms of the rescue operation with that deadly shipwrecked. however, that said the prosecutors incur tony had started investigation to see where the debts occurred. they're sticking very much the line that it's the people smugglers that are to blame, which is why they put in place that law calling for tough with sanctions, tougher jail terms for those people trust because and seeing that they will be looking into more channels for legal migration, but what's the government is calling for and what maloney has even released a statement on saturday saying very clearly that the want a joint european effort to deal with this issue both in terms of straightening the borders as well as in the haunting corporation with expulsion they want to see that kind of action, real concrete measures from the european union, the european union,

when these tragedies occur, say that they will do something and have said that they will. but i think many italians are hoping to see more solidarity dealing with this issue. thank you very much for your insights that was fema good in rome. the leader of russia wagner mercenary group, says it has made further advances in mode reaching the river that divides the city . the gains were confirmed by britain's defense ministry. images released by russians. state media appears to show extensive damage of the month of fighting for control of the city. earlier this week, the wagner claimed it had captured the eastern part of the modes, which military experts say holds little strategic value. ukrainian precedent followed him is the length he has vowed to keep fighting. the fears that the city is full could lead to further russia gains in the countries east. and frank led, which is a military and less than

a former military intelligence officer, based in oxford. in the u. k, i asked him whether ukrainian forces will be able to hold back. the russian mercenaries who have now reached the city center and the river that runs through back much well, they have been stopping now for the last 8 months. the question as to whether they will continue to do so. no, i don't think so. they are holding on. they've been advised, i think for the last month or 2 by us advisors, according to reports, we've heard that the time has really come now to withdraw. i don't think anyone's expected to hold on. this is strategic to the extent that the important to apply to this place now is very great because no operational importance. it's simply a bulwark for the other towns. but it is important because the loss of it will be something of a blows the ukrainians given the investment they've made it defending, it will be seen as something as certainly as a success or rather trumpeted isn't as a success by the russians on. specifically,

this wagner group are just holding on to or trying to hold on to bottom would also have strategic value for ukraine in that they're grinding down the russian invasion . yeah, that's a realistic comment. the calculation has been, 1st of all, we've declared this order implicitly declared it as a fortress that we're going to hold on as long as we can. secondly, although we are taking huge casualties that we the ukrainians, that the calculation would go. we are dishing out, reflecting far greater casualties on the russians and blunting force. and up till now, they're clearly made the decision that the losses we incur just are justified by the casualties we inflict. the danger is that they could become essentially surrounded. not that, that the russians across the river and sweep through the town is that the, that their exit roots could, could be blocked. they're not there yet. but once, once it gets to a point where the nearly surrounded their options will diminish. so you say their

options will be diminished. is there anything stopping russia? for example, from, from attacking the, the western bank from the air. they have been their results for the air force is active. but one thing the crane has one of many things that you can demonstrate it over the last year or more is the ability to challenge the russian air force, particularly over the comeback areas of power is not decisive in this particular battle. or indeed, so far in any battle in ukraine because of the ascendency that you credit a defense is have gained over the russian air force. thank you very much for that analysis, frank led, which in oxford in england. thank you. pleasure. thank you. let's take a look now at the mother news making headlines around the world. demonstrators in france have taken to the streets for a 7 consecutive day to protest against president emmanuel microns pension reform plans. police are expecting up to

more than a 1000000 tons of it is set to be released into the ocean. the japanese governments as it poses no risk, but local fishermen are concerned while more than one little kirk or young, we're worried that the reputation of our produce will suffer even more damage. still, the government has decided to allow the water release. we really cannot accept this why we feel so helpless. ever since this, an army in 2011 water has been used to cool the 3 nuclear reactors, devastated by meltdowns. this produces around a 100000 liters of waste water every day. the energy phone tapco runs the water through a treatment system, but it still contains tritium, a radioactive element, which in large quantities can cause cancer. but tapco says the low levels of tritium mean, it's not much different to see water and as run test to show that fish can live in it. still many are concerned about the long term effects. if you had just something

with a bait emitter, like a tuna or an oyster that has radionuclides in it, your internal cells have no protection whatsoever. you don't see these right away armitage years, sometimes decades to these numbers to show up. other experts say the tritium is so diluted that it's not a problem. so you get about the same amount in the fish as in the water. and that means that radioactive dose is quite low. and the other factor about tritium is that it's got a very weak radioactive emission, but the fukushima plans aren't popular in the wider region, either. china's south korea in the pacific islands of all cold for rethink. despite the opposition, japan says the release will begin in the coming months and continue for the next 30 years sport now and in the u. k. b b. c presenter gary linux has found himself at the center of the free speech after he was suspended for
