was the bangladesh government has repeatedly denied working with sweden's natural news. our investigation unit spoke with former r a b commanders who revealed evidence of how the force commits extra judicial killings. you may find elements of this report disturbing. 2 or the phone call you about to hear captures in alleged murder in southern bangladesh. was recorded in 2018 bash. i begum. she connected to aspen phone only seconds before he was killed . ah. 3 early in the day, a chrome attack had been taken by the rapid action battalion in elite unit of the bangladesh, police long accused of kidnappings, torture and hundreds of killings. on the day for peter holiday. i want justice. how

was my husband killed and why? who gave the order or any the recording continues for another 10 minutes. we're sirens and orders to plant ammunition and drugs close to the dying man. more shots are fired. later the official police report stated that a common hack died in his suit out between drug dealers. the audio dumb little tip of his audio is classic evidence of how an operation is staged. i did take part in extra judicial killings and torture. torture. this visser glow is one of 2 former rab command us who are the 1st to speak up about the rabb systemic human rights abuses which bangladesh government has longed a night. in detail, they describe how the elite squad has abducted torture and kit revealing the raps playbook for extra judicial killing me. it dark. in some cases, the scenes are made up beforehand or sometimes afterwards in court,

but all the evidence is planted to block granite imbedded and there is nothing written about it, nor the no order is given in writing. for months, the w and netra news investigated the rapid action battalion a thaws of $13000.00, which was originally founded to fight terrorism and crime in bangladesh. but according to the whistleblowers, it is also used as a political tool to silence opponents of the government. political, the engagement decision on any political target would come at the very least from the ministry of home affairs, whom he needed was a must to get clearance from home affairs. little it won't hurt us to end of the home affairs minister gave such an order. it's very unlikely the prime minister of bangladesh, it didn't know about it because as there's no paper trail, it's hard to verify that claim. but he corroborated the whistle blowers, testimonies with victims, accounts, medical records,

police reports and data from human rights organizations. when confronted was our findings, bangladesh prime minister did not respond. the rap referred us to the ministry of home affairs, which cited their own investigation and denied all allegations as baseless and uncle. the bank of the scope and keeps denying that these abuses of a good it is. these testimonies once again, show them that they need to stop, deny, and start holding secure. deposit come to bacon. so from bangladesh i shabby. gam shows us the glasses. her husband wore when he was killed, she received them with his body. since then she says, rap offices have pressured herd her family to remain silent on air day. he said, just one thing. he said, your husband has died and you could die at any moment to the body. but i shall begum once a proper investigation. she says she will continue to speak up until those who killed her husband are held to the count. i know me conrad is from

d w 's investigations department. i asked her whether i should. bega was likely to get the proper investigation. she was well, i mean, i'd hate to make any predictions but tragically. i think it's very unlikely to happen by wanted us legal system is very corrupt, highly politicized. she herself told us that whenever she tried to file a case, rab offices showed up, put the lawyers offices and stop them providing a case. so i think under the current government it is highly unlikely. elections are scheduled for early next year, but we have to remember that ramp was crated under what is now the main opposition party. so even if there is a change in government, i still think it is quite unlikely that there will be a full found independent medication into this case. right. so this rapid action battalion was funded, untrained by the u. s. and others,

were they aware of these are allegations of human rights violations, right. it seems that they were aware of these allegations right from the start. i mean we've seen diplomatic cables published by wiki leaks, which made it quite clear that they were very well aware of these allegations. but lab and we have to remember this was also an integral part of the u. s. is one tera in the southeast asia, and rab was brucely effective at what did. ringback i mean, they did manage to combat quite effectively terrorism in bangladesh, which also isn't quite an open balance. they knew that these allegations were probably true, but they relied on route to fight terrorism and crime in the region. so that maybe explains why it took so long for them to stop funding. that was in 2018 and then even longer, late 2021. so 2 years ago for them to actually ad robin 7 high ranking members and former members to their sections list. right. so there's a group of

a they helped to, to fund ended up on their functions list. good. that did those sanctions have any impact on some impact? i mean, killings are down, but rob seems to have changed. her modus operandi said they're still picking up people, but they're presenting them to judges on the fate, but act of a say a trumped effect charges. so they are still targeting opposition members, and we also have to say that these methods that route has been implying, have spread into other units. rob is made up of members of the military and the police, as a condo to rob for wild, and they go back to as a cool is in bangladesh and mother units. and they take these unsavory, brutal methods with them. so it's connected to the whole enforcement system in bangladesh. basically, i give up an army man conrad from dw investigations to and you find more details of this investigation on inside the death squad on youtube,

on the d. w. documentary channel or germany's vice chancellor robert harbor has joined presidents the landscape on a visit to a ukrainian village where an alleged russian war crimes took place. a year ago, they visited a school basement where nearly $450.00 of villagers were held captive for almost a month by russian troops. 11 people died during the ordeal in the village, north of keefe. zalinski said it's important for ukraine's allies to see what russia has done was to her back spoke to reporters about what he'd seen. stair, i to lead him. only thing you can hold for when you are so directly confronted with this horror. war is that it will and at some point and finish this argument. it doesn't mean it should. and just anyhow, bonham lucas and at some point means as soon as possible, as for how it can. and the only way is that ukraine concludes this war. able to decisively determine the conditions for peace,

misty this year. what is important to me politically is that there can be no neutrality. that one must distinguish between the attacker and the attacked from them between the perpetrator and the victim and the cause of this war light in the kremlin. and the perpetrator is putin like responded max xanda is an ukraine. he told me more about the reasons behind the vice chancellor visit. read though, so then the main name of this visit would be an corporation and helping with energy resilience year and building future economic projects i between germany and ukraine . one of the 1st things, a german vice chancellor said when he 1st came here, he said this is a strong to send a strong signal from germany to ukraine. that the country would be rebuilt and would be victorious again. now asked about what a victory would look like on linkedin. further elaborate on that, apart from saying that this would you for the ukrainians to decide. but he is also here in his capacity as vice chancellor. so naturally talks with presidents lensky also focused on support for the war effort, namely,

weapons deliveries. the ukrainians have been asking the europeans and the germans and americans for more artillery units. or shall we shows the european countries have started projects to wrap up their production. and, and my target to they said that they are in talks of how to achieve this. they have been asked by the returning counterparts to do so. and they will try to liver, though, didn't further elaborate on how it might and how, how was the, how back being received that right. so he has been not traveling a bit. so leading key of going to the chinese region of is it just substation dera as you saw the pictures before, to talk about energy resilience. but one of the appointments that would have been had, would have left at the longest lasting impression as, as he put it would have been a visit to the town of johanna, which was occupied by the russian some for about

a month last year. where more than 360 people were forced to live underground in an abandoned school on 20 square meters without electricity, without sanitation, 11 people did not survive that. and the president lensky, and what hobbit actually visited that basement? spent half an hour there talked to a survivor. and this is one of the, one of that one of the stops where i'm there without, except this is something we can clearly see the, the hardship that ukraine's have to are going through in white, white white germany is also supporting so much right test to tell us more about the se, plans to help you cry and rebuild what, what's the german, a government planning? right. so he's been accompanied by a delegation of representatives from the german industry. i'm from the german economy and they are working on projects, trying to figure out what german company is working in ukraine need right now. what

ukrainian companies need in support from the german government on concrete example . what would be a securities for investment? meaning that companies from germany, for example, wouldn't be investing in this case. and ukraine and their investments would be secured by the german government if they built a factory, if they expanded production, for example, something happened due to the war, a factory got destroyed, or something could not be procured dirty fighting. then the german government would jump in. they already have some companies that are on board and they're continuing talked to for this settlers. mcsaunder in ukraine. russian authorities say ukraine was behind them, explosion after some petersburg cafe of kill the well known pro war blogger. the kremlin, describe the blast as a terrorist attack carried out by ukrainian secret services. ukraine denies involvement on this. instead of blamed russian domestic terrorism, a woman linked to anti war rallies has been arrested. oh, this is the blogger flatland, petoskey real name maxime full mean. filming himself last year at the grand kremlin

palace, he had been invited there to celebrate russia's annexation of ukraine's occupied regions. this defiant tirade went viral. we will beat every one. he said, we will kill every one. we will rob every one who needs to be robbed, so everything will be the way we love him. while these kinds of videos made him wildly popular among pro war russian nationalists. and now, as these scenes suggest a target to task, he was killed after a blast at this restaurant. he had been hosting an event, their meeting supporters and subscribers to his telegram channel. local media reports the task he had been presented with a figurine just minutes before the blast, and that the figurine was the source of the explosion. after this figuring ahead of the minor and how much they put it so much back though without

a 2nd thought and he carried on with his questions, then suddenly everything exploded and there was smoke. it was like a slow motion movie. it was sit on the back half of the whole, everyone started to run and we needed to run. so we ran those for the near had blood all over them. of course we didn't, but you can use it. okay. well, you guys don't re adding further to the fog of uncertainty. the venue itself has close links to wagner, mercenary group boss, he of guinea pig, gorgine rushes state investigative committee has opened a murder investigation. it's a reminder of the unpredictable consequences of the war which to terra ski cheered so fervently. couple of other stories making news around the world and the head of russia's mercenary group of wagner group. excuse me, james. his troops, half a cap to the main administrative building in the besieged, ukrainian city of back, moot. that actually is getting free gorgeous. as you saw, just raised, the russian flag over city hall cave rejects the claim and says its force is off

nasa has named a 4 strong crew for it's asked miss to moon flight. clued the 1st woman am 1st african american to take part in a luna mission, a cruise due to fly around the moon as early as next year. ultimate to be the 1st crew lunar voyage since the end of the apollo era. more than 50 years ago, engineer in the crew. to get more our mission, keith carrying, who's an astro biologist on a former nasa employee. that was a journalist and an editor covering nasa and space policy. he joins us from washington, dc, a welcome back to d w. okay. and let's start with this kid ro a couple of 1st there. well, you makes it to the 1st with the other 1st is jeremy hanson, the canadian. so you've got, you know, there's a lot of maybe political twisting on this, but you've got, you're an unusual crew given that the last time we said people to the moon is 3 white american pilots. are ali. okay. and what are they going to be and what are

they going to be doing up there? well, this is sort of a, a, a precursor flight to the way of doing this is the artemus to mission. the arm is 3 mission will actually land. this mission is the 1st time that we'll send a crew back around the moon at a lean, 50 years, but also in this spacecraft. so the idea is to test anyway, pretty much everything except the actual weight. and there's a precedent for this. we did this back during the apollo program, but now we build spacecraft a little more efficiently so we don't have to do as many flights before we actually went. right. and so very well. so when they actually do land, do we know, do we know it's going to happen then? so we have as of as to that goes random then presuming everything to be all rights for the next mission, they actually get out and go back to the movies are right. yeah. and they'll be using a large vehicle. that space acts is building a starship and they will, they'll meet in lunar orbit. they'll get out of one capsule into that than the

weight of the moon. and we don't know what when exactly, that'll happen. it'll probably be 20. 25. could slip a little bit and we don't know the coin is going to be for that yet, except that if you listen to the, the, the bumper sticker here, it's the 1st woman and the next man. you're a person of color to wait on the moon. so the trailblazer, stay tuned. ok. a technology overseas made huge leaps in some way baths. humans last set foot on the move back in 68. how is that live if a change what these astronauts can do up there? well, sometimes you know, the stuff that he did before still works a lot of the tools that they use back daniels to work. it's your geology tools. but a lot of the scientific instrumentation that we take now, we have computers that are vastly more capable than what we use during the apollo era. but pretty much we're going to be picking up where we left off half a century ago because a lot of people believe that we have unfinished business in the move. and that's what these people be putting their minds toward. yeah,

why is that an unfinished business or why we going back or if it's more symbolic than, than, than really necessary because i wonder why wouldn't you just drop a i don't know a box of computerized tricks to do this. robbins actually put people there. that's an excellent question, i'm 67. ok. i grew up during the apollo era and people would ask that question back then. it was a political aspect to it, but there's also technological aspect. but this time we're not going just back to the wound for flags and footprints as they say, we're going to go back and just to stay, we're not going just as white american pilot male pilots, we're going back internationally. you will see japanese european astronauts and these are artemus missions, and we're going to go back to build a base there so that we can just not visit for a couple of days. but the stand, you know, up and really just understand what is liked living in the world. because at some point we want to go to mars. it is a lot of things we can learn about living for long periods of time in the lunar search. ok, i data, we will speak again about this good talking to keith cowan as of space ref. and
