9:00 am
ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin. ukraine flights off a new wave of russian strikes air depends trace route, fire lights up the sky over key if, as ukraine says, it's destroyed more than a dozen incoming miss office. also coming out, the un warns of a humanitarian crisis in sudan, tens of thousands of fleeing to neighboring countries to escape fighting between
9:01 am
rival military forces and in the buddhist league by munich. took back the 1st place from dorman on sunday by beating how to berlin to nil. we'll have that much more coming up later in our sports. ah. hello and terry martin, good to have you with us. ukraine says it's down more than a dozen russian missiles in the early hours of monday, ukraine's military said it's air defense systems destroyed. 15 out of 18 era launched cruise missiles targeting keep an error rate. an air raid alert in the capitol lasted almost 3 hours. city officials say there have been no casualties or destroyed infrastructure in keith. russia has intensified and strikes on you can in
9:02 am
recent days, and anticipation of cubes, spring counter offensive will cross over to our correspond in key of nick conley. nick, tell us more about these overnight airstrikes while we have had reports from the east, the country from nittany pro of 25 casualties, they haven't said if these are fatalities or people who be wounded. so evidently, not all the countries as well defended as give, as you mentioned their cave without any major impact from these attempted strikes. they were all shut down of the key of the city this privileged awfully in terms of the air defenses that it has. but everyone scratching their heads here trying to understand why these russian attacks have started once again. we had basically a month and a half without major cruise missile attacks away from the front lines and looked santa sank. probably it's just because the russians can, they were really running out of missiles, of those attacks, of the energy system here over the ultimate, the winter. or when they picked up, those missiles have been shut down. it seemed that they had been produced very recently and taking to the frontlines basically immediately. and now after
9:03 am
a month and a half, 2 months, russia basically has a big stock of missiles, big enough to send enough missiles into grain in one go to have a hope of trying to get positive defenses. but for now, they're holding up to certain people here. ukraine once again, very painfully aware. the fact that they shouldn't ignore those warnings next day with us while we take a look at this report on the situation in bah, moot and eastern ukraine. the russian defense ministry claims its troops have captured more territory there. but keep says it's still in control of a vital supply line that i know of the ukrainian soldier is doing maintenance on the tank. on the outskirts of bar moods, the city is often referred to as the meat grinder, on account of the heavy losses. both sides have suffered, their ukraine's troops say that bit by bit, that being squeezed out to lot of as far as i can see, there's almost nothing left in back moot that is controlled by us did it. but i
9:04 am
didn't get hooked up moscow's defense ministry. now says it's come a little closer to its goal of taking all of the city renewable, visiting, awarded north carolina, and they have from the guardian in the direction of donnette valley assault teams continued to displace the enemy in the western part of baltimore and captured for quarters, while their delay never got loose on the out. the other rushes military along with the wagner masonry group, have been trying to capture the city for months when a portion, but despite rushes claimed advance, keith appears to still have a foothold and most critically, a supply line into the city. and right now, both sides are running low on supplies of ammunition near me and just are now the russians shooting last year. but i knew him shopped that much more restrained compared to when we got him were shrub back then our they were shooting all night chicago. what, but now they only shoot in response to our artillery lead. while keith has taken
9:05 am
delivery of a host of new western weaponry and is getting set to launch, it's coming counter offensive. speaking to a newly formed battle squad, president vill odom, is the lensky said? ukrainian blood spilled and bach mood would not be in vain. shall only win him, just called the main battles are coming soon. i'm attending it, and as was it, we must free our land and our peoples from russian slavery. he's going to william, we must restore our full state buddha, both on the land and that seemed alcorda donal. yep. now, so shin, it's unclear when the counter offensive will start. but keith hopes that you western firepower will make all the difference. ah, nick, the battle for buck mode has been going on for months at great cost to both sides, remind us why moscow and keith are investing so much in that particular battle.
9:06 am
what i think for moscow, the motivation seems to be largely symbolic one. they're basically very short on big victories in recent months. basically since ukraine took bag all that territory in the east, in the south, in the autumn, they haven't had much to celebrate. so they were desperate to have something to show for all these lives lost on the ukrainian side. i think the motivation was a different one. it was about basically trying to bind russia's efforts in one place to try and get russia to invest as many lives and as much tact as possible for those smallest possible gains. and i still think that in terms of ukraine leaving back more, it's more question of when, rather than if an expert said only about 15 percent of the city limits are still within ukrainian control. there is a route in and out. the russians keep on trying to encircle the grading forces and to better take that route under their control that isn't working out for them right now. the ukraine is keep pushing them back, but it is a very,
9:07 am
very grim situation with huge losses on both sides. you mentioned there, and there, there is a sense that this is not going to go on forever. but it's also very brave pundit to give some kind of prediction as to when the cranes will eventually buckman. nick, thank you very much. our correspondent nick, commonly in cheer rushes, crackdown on opponents to the war in ukraine has been well documented. but lately the kremlin has stepped up efforts to stifle criticism, leading to what some are calling the widest campaign of repression. since the soviet union, recent targets have included people like alexia crypt, saba, a university student who is put under house arrest for anti war posts on social media. but as our next report shows, she is one of the lucky ones out of her shackles. and on the run or less,
9:08 am
yo clift over gets goose bumps. when she thinks back to the moment she freed herself from house arrest and fled from russia to europe and boast as if it, if the bright before i escaped, i was afraid because stupid thoughts kept coming into my head. like what if this doesn't work and a rest me would i have to run for miles through the forest killing, yet of but she succeeded. from bellow, rose alessio was able to enter the you buy car to lithuania, where she was granted asylum. but she knows if her escape attempt had failed, she would likely be imprisoned by now or less yet had been waiting under house arrest for the courts. verdict. the charges were serious, discrediting the russian army and justifying terrorism. her crimes. handing out anti war flyers and condemning the war in ukraine in
9:09 am
a private chat with her fellow university students. my on what it was, that was my protest with the dog and i chose the most harmless methods for it. well, at least that's what i thought. i don't agree with vladimir putin regime which instigated this war against ukrainians who are like brothers to us. brad cock of latin that order. alicia is one of the almost $20000.00 russians who had to pay for their anti war stance with their freedom. the most prominent among them is the opposition leader vladimir kara moore. does i who strongly criticized putin and publicly denounced the war in ukraine. another russian was sentenced to 2 years in prison because his daughter drew an anti war picture like alysia. he also tried to flee russia through belarus,
9:10 am
but he was caught and arrested. a careless joke or critical post is all it takes to get a knock at the door from the secret service, the f s b, and possibly end up behind bars. the russian parliament has also tightened the law to make it more difficult for young men to avoid being conscripted. it's made it trickier to leave the country like alessio did. she believes repression and russia will get even worse because the kremlin fears its own citizens was his appeal at that. what if all the young women who were against the war had taken to the streets and gone to the kremlin? yeah, it's clear that people must be intimidated because of this, but a class and that suits the russian regime. berry wall at the moment. at his, his credit, a month or less. yes. dream is to become a journalist in another free russia, perhaps that wouldn't have to remain
9:11 am
a dream or joy. now, by d. w. is russia ellis. constantine edgar, whose in building is constantine? it seems one doesn't need to do much to be accused of treason or discrediting the army in russia. yes, i think that the trend is unmistakable. essentially. oh, even probably a couple of years ago. ah, you should have been a loyal, but you will not demanded to show loyalty all the time. now i think this becomes an absolute must for anyone. and of course, any attempt to deviate from, from a say. so the party line is now increasingly punished and frankly speaking, i think this is the end of the only problem for the regime. here is that application of all these laws across the board is very difficult. so this is
9:12 am
a difference from, let's say, the soviet union are the stollins colonies dictatorship. ah, the, the, the, the, the application, i mean the, the court cases and imprisonments are now such that they are supposed to be well individual. and that the same time i demonstrative enough, but to strike fear in the hearts of everyone else. so it is selective. repression is a tool of imposing quality containers. it's not just the russian secret service, the intelligence service, spying on people. there, there been reports of some people reporting on their friends and neighbors. how wide spread is that? well, i mean it's very difficult to assess because as you can imagine, these reports are done. nazi, as they're called in russian are not being publicized bonds. i think that according to at least some assessments by human rights groups are such denunciations. really,
9:13 am
really style in north korea style. ah, aarp can be counted in tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands. so basically these old instinct coming back to basically the darkest days of the 20th century is suddenly revived. right? given the current conditions in russia like those you just described, do those opposed to the government's policies? have any room to maneuver? no, i don't think so. it's very increasingly difficult to, ah, to maintain any kind of critical, not even opposition critical activity towards the government model. those who are still allowed to do it, are they increasingly inspire a suspicion because people think ok, there are, there are people that are kind of arrested and put in prison for 25 years for saying something gets put in. and then this person, for example,
9:14 am
is nothing happens to him or her. so maybe there are plans. so this is also another way of sawing, mistrust among citizens by the government. mistrust is a very, very oh, well spread disease in russia, which basically undermines civic society very much. and i think the government is going to use it to the full konstantin. thank you very much. as always, our correspond constantine eggs there in bilious to catch up on a few other stories making headlines, round world today. turkey's present wretched type out at once as the leader of the so called islamic state has been killed in a turkish intelligence operation. at one says avo who's saying alcaraz, she died in syria on saturday. he's the 3rd ios leader who is reported to have been killed in 14 months or could he? she paraguay is paradise ruling conservative party candidates. santiago penya will become president after winning more than 42 percent of the boats in elections. the
9:15 am
south american countries slowing economy and diplomatic ties with taiwan were central topics. the new president elect wants to maintain ties with the self governing island in the taiwanese capital tie. pay workers have gathered to protest for higher salaries and better working conditions. the 1st of may also known as labor day or may day in many countries is traditionally celebrated with workers rights rallies, marches, and other events. sedans, rival military factions have agreed to extend the fragile cease fire agreement for another 72 hours. the renewed truce, which started at midnight on sunday, is supposed to provide some relief for civilians caught up in the fighting now and it's 3rd week. and there are growing concerns about the wider impact of the conflict. the united nations is warning than an escalating humanitarian crisis.
9:16 am
incident could affect all of east africa. as the conflict in sudan rages on the human impact intensifies. heavy fighting has led tens of thousands to seek refuge in neighboring countries across the eastern border and chad, the united nations has sent an emergency response teams offering humanitarian assistance. it estimates that $20000.00 refugees had made the crossing since the fighting began. many with tales of violence, rana back to our village and the houses are many people try to escape. they killed the u. n. 's refugee agency has boasted supplies of relief items like sleeping bags, soap and utensils. whether it fears it won't be enough, especially with rainy season coming in from flint to act. now it'll be too late, or when he sees on his pony in few weeks, and there, if we don't provide any assistance, will appear pool. ah ver, rural will be blood and all the refugees here will be so. but to the destruction
9:17 am
and the horror stories glimmers of human kindness shines through. this elderly resident of a town close to the egyptian border spends her days baking bread for those fleeing the fighting. olivia, he be nice. the people of righty house for welcome our guest. hello. everyone is welcome. the door is open. the schools the mosque. the country will welcome any guest who comes to us leafy. i merely hope that god will stop the war hill and that both sides agreed to solve the situation. i was to save our use to fix the situation from muslims by, but with suppose it cease fires, not holding agents, his fare, there's worse to come for me or i'm joined by mohammed osmond, a sudan researcher at human rights watch here in berlin. thanks for being with us. well, how about the u. s. warrens that the, that sudan, the sudan conflict could plunge all of east africa into a humanitarian crisis. help us understand sedans,
9:18 am
significance for the region who. hi, the due graphical position. i mean, sedan late this year says witness so much turbulence is instability in terms of violence. they have been already a humanitarian challenge is on the ground floor down. meanwhile, that's happening in the region when there is a lot of instability also happening. i mean, if you look into the west side, down on the 4th, that is bordering with chad with central african republic on the eastern side. been off the tension and fighting in board the close to the p and the yeah. so it's a band played a key location not only do graphically, but also politically big part of the tribal groups living in the board, the, the kind of move around the as well. so any move like the situation is going to get worse unfortunately. and so far, we're not really seeing
9:19 am
a proper human response on the ground. so the chances of even not only the humidity or an impact, we also seeing the fighting flaring across the board, the fortune that the going to be a reality. i want to ask you about that a moment, but 1st of all, your organization has called on the us top human rights body to end it's inaction and take measures to hold those responsible for abuses to account. and i was quoting there, ah, what action do you think the international community should be taking in student? so the fighting we have seen since the air bill 15. we know it wasn't not an isolated incident, doesn't out come off a fail political process in itself where justice was locked, prioritize. so what we want from international community is to change courts is starting from the un security council move forward with coordinated set of actions that includes the expansion of the offs embargo in sure, no more weapons reaching to the abuse of leaders that they should be set of target
9:20 am
sanctions, though, harm get given it is due to harm civilians further when it comes to the un human rights council. we do want to see the mechanism to investigate what is happening on the ground to have that axis and to collect evidence, to move forward with recommendation in what accountability measures should be taken against these leaders are forever going to have to leave it there. that is a student researcher mohammed osman here in berlin. ah, in the buddhist lee by and munich played last place, how to berlin in munich. the hosts have been out of their comfort zone, are usually leading the standings of the stage of the season after dormant drop points on friday though by and we're aiming to retake the table lead and they did not disappoint. beating the berliners to nail myers shocking. 31, defeat
