really holding the powerful to account, getting to the truth. that the conflict on d w. b. ah, this is the w news live from berlin emergency in the mediterranean. italy's coast guard rescues hundreds of migrants from best. all sports are drifting off shore. the operation comes just days after the government announced it would be cracking down on people smugglers also coming up. russia's wagner, mass in

a big group claims further advances in moot, the battle for control of the city in 8th grade is intensifying the front line as now. reportedly the river, dividing the city with ukrainian forces, still holding the west and back in the bundle. slager leaders by munich, hold on to 1st place off the proving too much to handle a fellow bavarian outspoken backs and much more coming up later in school. ah, i'm all on psycho, it's good to have you with us. it's elise, the coast guard has rescued more than 1300 migrants from the mediterranean. local rescues were health by navy vessels and a fishing boat to bring people to shore from boats drifting as far as the 160 kilometers off the coast. over 1000 migraines have arrived in italy over the past 4

days. rescue senses in several areas of a crowded this latest rescue operation comes after italy's far right government announced tough new plans to crack down on people's smugglers. for more on the situation of the coast of italy, i spoke to journalist cmo, grouped in rome. 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 aged 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. a vessel was rescued with some 370 were taken on board the same vicinity the coast 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 fees, 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 port. took tony, not this port, of course is where there was that deadly ship rec some 2 weeks ago that really shocked many italian coming. 10 years after the last such very did the ship to take place off 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 lumpy do the itself. all the run with some 3000 also my good for 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 $6000.00 in the 1st 2 and

a half months of 2022. now the european 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 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 shipwreck. however, that said, the prosecutors in co, 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 sanctions, tougher jail terms for those people track. because and seeing that they will be looking into more channels for legal migration, but what 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 border, 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 the ukrainian city of moods reaching the river that divides the city center. britain's defense ministry confirmed the gain earlier this week of august claimed it had captured the eastern part of the city ukrainian president. holiday mister lensky has about to keep fighting over affairs there. the city is full, could lead to further russian gains in the east ukrainian tongues on the

outskirts of back moot, determined to see off any further russian advances. despite wishing gains in the east of the city, the fight, the control continues. were water you as follow a motivation? we are fighting until we achieve victory through what we need victory, not only piece your call it exotic, normal, cheaper to water pottery, molnar cheese on saturday. russian media released this footage nucleus, which is a worth reporting to show the damage the fighting has inflicted on buck moot. so you indulge and unidentified russian soldiers from the wagner mercenary group. law can be heard saying they had to destroy every house, to be able to advance back in

ukrainian control territory close to back. moot. the wall has taken its toll on 82 year old valentina younger flood, don't know too well. i was here at home about to go to sleep lying on my sofa till the law. all of a sudden the shelling started toward my kidney. physically get 8 sides. i was lying there thinking, if me kill me here. so be it. she said that it lasted for 3 hours, at least until it was over. marie. oh my god, i cannot take it. ukraine has pledged it will not surrender. but for many, it's time to say good bye. to the shattered streets of buck moot. frank lead, which is the military analyst, and

a former military intelligence officer based in oxford. in the u. k. i asked him whether ukrainian forces were will be able to hold back. the russian mercenaries who have now reached the city center and the river that runs through boat. 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 importance in applied 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 and will be seen something as certainly as a success or rather trumpeted isn't as a success by the russians. and specifically,

this wagner group are just holding on to or trying to hold on to back move, also have strategic value for ukraine, and that they're grinding down the russian invasion. yeah, that's a real estate comment. the calculation has been, 1st of all, we declare 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 the russians across the river and sweep through the town is that there that, that exit roots could, could be blocked. they're not there yet. but once, once it gets to a point where they're 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. the results for the air force is active. but one thing the crane has one of many things that you cranes demonstrated over the last year or more is the ability to challenge the russian air force, particularly over the combat areas of power is not decisive in this particular battle or indeed. so for any battle in ukraine, because of the ascendency that you credit defense is upgrade over the russian air force. thank you very much for that analysis, frank led, which in oxford in england. thank you. pleasure. thank you. now let's take a look at some other news making headlines around the world. demonstrators have gathered in tel aviv to protest against proposed reforms to israel's judicial system. under the plan changes it will be possible for parliament to overturn
