to the telling us it is one of the, or the most forward position on this part of the front line on from here to the other side to where the russian enemies are. it's just, just roughly about 150 meters that's the russians firing back. the soldier behind the machine gun feels the pressure. la, shy since gun and youngster, who's it, who the enemy is testing them. he says, preparing for something. snipers and mortars posed a constant threat. moving anywhere is dangerous. in the next foxhole we meet a man with a call sign taxi driver. he joined the army when the war began. william nikolai, he hasn't seen his family for months. yesterday, was his son 6th birthday. i asked him how he copes, sasha rosena, a lewis, t e a t shirt. fish for huge. sure. he had you had a grad castillo,

a willie willie co who boy knew each a shopper would not really no, but only one in moultrie to the minute. adelcia, reuben murphy wishes and for both sides, bottled remains a strong symbol. full. yeah, well the enemy is dying. our morals. i miss that and they're stupid enough to sell to russians. victory like capture in to behold in the beginning of florida were trying to capture key for, for days high to give was keith stance heineken stance. and now that trying to sell ma, what you can tell at ward the 2nd all mean the world looked like for real from over here. critics though, argue buckman is no longer worth the price that ukraine is paying and lives were taken to see what that looks like. we can't say where we are only that the fighting is very close and abandon building now with field hospital. here

doctors work round the clock to save lives, their position and the danger zone is crucial. wounded or brought you directly from the front line and stabilized, so they can survive the trip to the hospital. this man suffered a shrapnel wound to his abdomen surgeon to me throw and his team get to it immediately. half an hour later he stable enough to be moved. the teams here perform up to 80 operations every day. last insurance case, this is nigel sent that strip now injurious from artillery. and in this place in this position for into a fearful sort of boards injurious l. so because we're, we're provided in the city. and so our, in the me a use goals, corn, fucked, thorough a sold or sensory feel more cases, reasonable mullets injuries, demitra ran

a company for clinical testing before the war. now he chooses to be here in a windowless room that smells of wounds and sounds like war. but they're making a difference. he says and to we are becoming more professionals and every kind of stuff know what he or she should do in this case. so we agree it and some owen, protocols for for health and an hours drive away from the trenches, come a tourist station visits from family and here wives and girlfriends return to safety and men head back to the frontline. the price for a bucket is high, but ukraine is willing to pay for more on back would let's bring in mike martin. he's an expert on war and conflict and a senior visiting fellow a king's college in london. mike,

great to have you on the show. it so it's already now the longest running and bloodiest battle of the war. one of the biggest difficulties for the ukrainian military on the eastern front. the biggest difficulty they have by quite a long way in is a supply. and the reason for that is if you look at where the russian forces are, they surround the ukrainians on 3 sides. so the claim means hold still hold the city center, but the russians are on 3 sides. and they're also blocking the 2 main supply route into the city that were previously supplying ukrainian forces. so the cleanings have great difficulty getting ammunition in and of course casualties out. now mike, germany and also britain have now delivered heavy battle tanks to ukraine. but what difference if any, will this make for the soldiers dying in the trenches? i think in the mood, it's not going to make a huge amount of difference. the reason for that is because you don't want to risk

tanks in an urban area because they're very easy to ambush and they would lose their advances, which is speed, mobility, fire power. but what is happening is that you kind of using to tie up the russians and that they're taking those, those tanks and energy fighting vehicles, the west that i think i'm forming other units that can strike the russians elsewhere. so they're using to hold and then they're going to hit the russian somewhere else in the right that's. that's the real significance of the tanks. now, ukraine has accused russia of taking barrows hostage by stationing nuclear weapons . there is this just posturing on putin's part or perhaps a bargaining chip of some sort. it's, i think what is actually the latest in a long line of posturing from pizza around nuclear weapons right from day one of the invasion we had threatening of unbelievable consequences. you know,

regular reminders that russia and nuclear power and then lots of nuclear saber rattling during the conference that did die down for quite a while, both because the chinese warn the russians that it was unacceptable. and so did the americans and the british and french give it a very strict message to russia. the use of nuclear weapons was covered under the same rules as the cold war, which was mutual assured destruction. and so what we're seeing really here is just the same old game. it is a highly, highly unlikely to use nuclear weapons because they're set his war aims back rather than forward. so it's just posturing as you say. thanks mike. mike martin, an expert on the war on conflict, can years president william roto has condemned russia's war in ukraine. in an interview with d. w, we asked him what he thought about the deployment of russian nukes in batteries.

it's really unfortunate because or so that's why expecting ideas collision. but it looks like a di escalation is, is, is not happening any time soon. and the threat of nuclear and deployment of nuclear in this whole space or puts many lives, many people and may be the global risk. you know, all of our full blown or war that nobody knows who will be the next victim. and it speaks to the identity of all class. it's a source of concern for nations for lead us across the globe that this war is not de escalating. in fact, if anything, it's quality,

amnesty international has released its annual report on the state of human rights worldwide. the report criticizes quote, the double standards of countries that have condemned to russian aggression in ukraine, but turned a blind eye to human rights violations elsewhere. it calls to conflict in ukraine, a possible wakeup call for the world to unite around human rights and universal values. amnesty also highlighted the war in ethiopia as t gray region where the death toll is unknown but may be in the hundreds of thousands and to condemn the iranian regimes. brutal responds to widespread protests or random dozen people who are involved in those protests are fed by the iranian judiciary to be facing the death penalty. one of them is the iranian rapper to magic seller. he. he was arrested in october last year after the start of the women life freedom demonstration, sparked by the death of a young woman in police custody dw spoke to

a close friend of his about the case and the fears for his safety. ah, his dearest are the reason why too much spans love him and he loves courage rulers hate him. and his music video publishing october he pre nick stared down for january benefit on his actual meconium imaging. i did an interpreter of it and so this is just a bunch of you will somebody come in? but it has 10 van tens of thousands in iran took to the streets to demand an end of this nomic republic till pretty room to march joined them. and encourage others to do the same ballpark quantity. believe in this revolution, and joined the young people who are now on the streets, who we hear a being killed every day. we are burning, but we will not let the flame of this revolution go out. tomorrow, wednesday, 26th of october, all over iran. just 4 days later to march disappear until weeks later,

a video emerged which very deliberately not showing you now in it, his blindfolded and forced to apologize. in an exclusive interview with d, w, a close friend has described how the video brought even more distress. but i like to see a hash through lost and was because i would before 38 days. we were unaware of too much. and it was quite clear to us that they were torturing him during this time. jimmy corner, slattich, as i said, that his shaking his face, which had lost weighed due to torture and pressure that made us all angry and upset wise the hash. when i found it was a lie, and in my opinion it showed how weak this regime is to have, you know, how pathetic they are as well, that they resort to force like this and on any ladder yet, as their course in isn't than a half. i shall cause more to last syllabus. lulu michel, arab okla, $150.00 days after his arrest to lodge is still in solitary confinement. in one of

iran's many presence. his friends fear for his life because he is indicted with corruption on airs. the charge that carries the death penalty and because he hasn't even recovered from the injuries he suffered during an earlier detention. what as of one, i miss it guys on the same city. unfortunately, i was just like this time to match his previous arrest. how was accompanied by violence and took your whole sunday. he read you a new year too. as he sat in a youtube video, when he was arrested 10 people surrounded him and they hit him on his head, skull and eyes dialed it was on. was that a canada with that and they hit his head on the ground. jack la la la. yet they even heard one of 2 marches replaced hesper to was me. i think one of his ribs was damaged and broken at the time. is that what his envoy said, i see, but down there too much. he has diagnostic la city to chicago. but while iran's

rulers might be able to silence to march himself for now making and many, many others are being lout on social media. they are campaigning for his release, making sure to wars of their rap here who used to be peer ways are echoed around the word what i'm joined now by my colleague, today's a toppa, who is an iran analyst here at the job. you welcome to to the studio. so we just saw your report there, about tom, a rapper that joined the protest. do we know how he's doing? well, we know he's been in solitary confinement ever since he got arrested. and we know from other prisoners how horrible that can be, especially when you're already injured. when you go in there, like too much was and but unlike many other political prisoners, tomorrow actually has a lawyer of his own choice. and that lawyer got to speak to him, you got to meet him. and afterwards he talked about mast courage about his strength,

about the fact that he keeps as hyatt had up high and above the fact that he doesn't seem afraid. which is quite remarkable. if you consider that the charges he's facing and corruption on earth and carry the death penalty, incredible levels. the strengths there. now there are several reports of human rights abuses. and for instance, in iranian prisons, how much do we know what is really actually going on behind the walls of these prisons? we don't know that much, and that's because many other prisoners just like to march, stay in solitary confinement for a long time with little to no contact to the outside world. but we do know from leak c, c t, v footage, and also from reports from former prisoners that especially the 1st time in detention, the so called interrogation period is very hard. a systematic torture and sexual assault are quite common there. and these are designed to make the prisoners

confess, sometimes crimes. they never committed and these confessions or so called confessions . and they to then use against them in court to convict them of stuff like corruption on earth, waging war against god. and this year alone, more than $140.00 people were executed, some of them for drac charges or for murder, but also quite a few for just protesting on the streets. freedom truly around the still fun. i mean, there are many brave men and women like to marsh in iran, considering what you're saying, you know what the possible consequences of, of doing something will say, what drives them to defy the regime. it's anger, mostly many have to have had enough of the islamic republic. you know, many of these protest as a young and they see on social media how other people, their age live around the world,

what opportunities and what freedoms they enjoy. and that they don't want the old men ruling over them to deny these freedoms to them. especially if you consider that many of the children or even grand children, of those old men in power inside iran, live in the west, and enjoy those very freedoms. and this regime is even more violent when under pressure, and that's what we're seeing right now. hundreds have been killed. tens of thousands have been arrested. so the rallying cry, women, life freedom is as urgent as ever. thanks to there's a thanks for your reporting turn as a top iran expert here at dw, moving on to some sports news now, and the international olympic committee president obama has doubled down on his decision to allow russian and better us in athletes back into competitions. many competitors are urging the sports governing body to bar russian competitors. while the war in ukraine continues back says not allowing their participation under

a neutral flag would be a violation of their human rights. the issue is what happens with individuals. it's not a gray area of international law. it is some think that binds all states and all individuals. it is actually so important that we call it peremptory a norm of international law. for this reason, because of blanket prohibition. oh, for russian and baler, russian, athletes and artists cannot continue. he tease a flagrant violation of human rights while staying with the olympics organizers of the 2024 paris games have said their goal is to bring sports into the streets. and no discipline belongs to the pavement. more than break dancing,

which is set to become an olympic sport. for the very 1st time. dancing in the streets has long been about more than just fun for be girls sissy. next summer, the 15 year old wants to use her break dancing skills to win a metal for france. tribble against break dancing is my life. it's like breathing like eating. it helps me express myself. and i spend my passion ever since i was a small child doesn't but i can't imagine not break dancing. is me well, bustle. breakdancing originated in the united states as part of hip hop culture in the 19 seventy's when young people would challenge each other on the streets in 2024, they will battle each other at the paris olympics. killian lives on reunion. the 21 year old travels regularly from the french island to train with his national teammates club. you should the fellow, i'm used to take part in compositions alone. lou, the island,
