ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to you live from berlin. ukraine pines off a new way, but russian strikes air defense tracer, fire lights up the sky over. keep as ukraine says, it's destroyed more than a dozen incoming missiles. also coming up may day rally sir, getting underway across the world, including anti war protesters,

or calling for better protection for work. plus more fighting reported incidence capital despite rival military forces agreeing to extend a cease fire. un warrants of a humanitarian crisis as tens of thousands fleet to neighboring countries. and in the buddhist league by munich took back 1st place from door, but on sunday, by beating heavily into nailed all health. more on that and much more coming up later in our sports. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. ukraine says if his down more than a dozen russian missiles in the early hours of monday, you cranes military said it's air defense systems, intercepted 15 out of 18 air launch. cruise missiles. an air raid alert in the capitol lasted almost 3 hours city official side. there have been no casualties or

destroyed infrastructure in key of russia has intensified. it strikes on ukraine a recent days and anticipation of kias spring counter offensive. a short while ago i spoke to our correspondent nick connelly in chia he told us more about these overnight air strikes across the country. ah, well, we have had reports from the east of the country from near me pro of 25 casualties . they haven't said it's, these are fatalities of people who be wounded. so evidently, not all the countries as well defended as give, as he mentioned their cave without any major impact from these attempted strikes. they were all shut down of the keep. the city is privileged, obviously, in terms of the air defenses that it has. but everyone scratching their heads had 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 stainless the st. 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. when they picked up, those missiles had been shut down. it seemed that they had been produced very recently and taking to the frontlines basically immediately. and now after a month and a half 2 months, russia basically has a big stoker missiles big enough to send enough missiles into ukraine in one go to have a hope of trying to get positive defenses. but for now, they're holding up to certain people here in 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 minister 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 soldiers doing maintenance on a tank on the outskirts of back much. 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 of as far as i can see, there's almost nothing left in back moot that is controlled by us. did it by difficult develop moscow's defense ministry now says it's come a little closer to its goal of taking all of the city helpers in your book visiting and what to do with your wiggly. and they have come of already in the direction of donnelly, with assault teams continued to displace the enemy or in the western part of batman and captured for quarters. whether villanova was on the out, the other through russia's military, along with the wagner mercenary group, have been trying to capture the city for months when of worship. but despite russia's claimed advance key 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 car. now the russians shooting last year. but when you have them shopped that much more

restrained compared to when we got here trouble back then are they were shooting all night, talk about what, but now they only shoot in response to our artillery plead law keep has taken 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 autumn is zalinski said ukrainian blood spoken by mood would not be in vain. shall only when him just call the main battles are coming soon. i'm assuming it in us was that we must free our land and our peoples from russian slavery's. going to william, we must restore our full state florida both on the land and that to see him. now, cardona yak na solution. it's unclear when the counter offensive will start, but keith hopes that you western fire power will make all the difference. ah,

nick, the battle for buffalo has been going on for months at great cost to both sides. remind us why moscow and keith are investing so much in a particular battle. what i think for moscow the motivation seems to be largest symbolic one. they basically very short on big victories in recent months. basically, since ukraine took back 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 rushes efforts in one place to try and get russia to invest as many lives and as much tact as possible for the smallest possible games. and i still think that in terms of ukraine leaving bottom gets more question of when, rather than if are experts say there in 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, then to basically take that route under their control that isn't working out for them right now. the cranes keep pushing them back, but it is a very, very grim situation with huge losses on both sides. you mentioned there, and yet there is a sense that this is not going to go on forever. but it's also a 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 chia, russia's crackdown on opponents to the war and 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 alaska, cris dot saw a university student who was 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, your crystal vargas 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 right 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 dylan yet. but she succeeded from belo, rose or less. yeah. was able to enter the you by 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, you 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 a private chat with her fellow university students my or whatever. so that was my protest with the dog asleep. 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 scott, co latin that order. alexia 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 alicia. he also tried to flee russia through belarus, 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 alicia did. she believes repression and russia will get even worse, because the kremlin fears its own citizens. was this appeal at that? what if all the young women who were against a war had taken to the streets and gone to the kremlin? yeah, it's clear that people must be intimidated because of this class and growth and

that suits to russian regime berry wall at the moment. that is his quote is a month or less. yes. dream is to become a journalist in another free or russia, perhaps that wouldn't have to remain a dream is easy to be accused of treason or of discrediting the army in russia. the w's, russia analyst causing egger, told me more. yes, i think that the trend is unmistakable, essentially. oh, even probably a couple of years ago. oh, 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 any one. and of course, any attempt to deviate from it 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

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 a selective regression as a tool of improving global fiano 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, 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 inspiring suspicion? because people think ok, there are the, 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, 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 constantine. thank you very much. as always our correspond constantine eggs there in bilious say look at some of the other stories making news around the world today. motors in respect stand, have approved a referendum that will allow the president to remain in power until 2040. the government said the referendum would also usher in human rights reforms, like general officials said it passed with 90 percent of the vote in the country were rights have long been heavily restricted turkeys president richard typo on

says the leader of the so called islamic state has been killed in a turkish intelligence operation at one says avo who's saying our rossi died in siri on saturday. he is the 3rd i asked leader who is reported to have been killed in 14 months. so sir eric was ruling conservative party candidates. santiago penya will become president after winning more than 42 percent of boats in the election. the south american countries showing a slowing economy and diplomatic ties with taiwan, were central topics. the new president elect wants to maintain ties with the self governing island. both president says the batt again is involved in a secret mission to try to end the conflict between russia and ukraine. on his return flight from hungary, the pontiff said he is willing to do everything needed to secure peace. he said that can, can facilitate the return of ukrainian children taking to russia. well,

let's look at the good. also. in many countries around the world, people are gathering to celebrate, may day, also known as international workers, day or labor day. in taiwan, capital, taipei workers have gathered to protest for higher salaries and better working conditions. the 1st of may is traditionally marked in many countries with rallies, marches, and other events to celebrate workers' rights. more in this i'm joined now by our correspond william yang in type paper. well, you know how important is may day in taiwan and what are workers they are drawing attention to this year. so this is the 1st made a march or in taiwan since dependent started. so the unions and also workers groups have been preparing for this and because next january we will have a presidential election. so they treat this march today as an occasion where they

are venting their anger towards the government. basically they're saying the government did not do anything to improve the workers' rights and the wealth gap between the wealthy and also the poor people continue to widen. and there is a widespread problem for young people to not be able to for any housing and their calling for the government, improved a labor conditions including to increase the number of annual leave, the workers can actually have at the same time. also not giving the employers too much bargaining power to actually demand the workers in terms of their laboring hours. this, this protest year describing it's taking place amidst rising tensions with beijing . how are those tensions affecting this years may day celebrations? so while most of the slogans and the focus is focusing on the domestic labor and

conditions, there is definitely a lot of focus on how the businesses are going to view the government's policies. because as we know, a lot of the large businesses here in taiwan still have huge business interest in china. and so in the lot of the ways the government here nice to find the balance between how to court these businesses and ensure that they will continue to invest inside taiwan. but at the same time, raising the awareness among them in terms of how having more business stakes inside china nowadays is in fact a larger risk for them. so i think right now for the labor of the earth, still focusing more on the domestic policies in terms of how they can improve their own labor and conditions. william, thank you very much. those are corresponding william young in type a now to sir durn were fighting, has been reported in the capital cartoon, despite an agreement between rival military forces to extend a ceasefire agreement for another 72 hours. the truth is meant 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. the united nations is warning that an escalating humanitarian crisis could affect all of east africa. as the conflict in sudan rages on, the human impact intensifies. heavy fighting has like tens of thousands to seek refuge in neighboring countries across the eastern border and chat, the united nations has sent an emergency response teams offering humanitarian assistance. it estimates that $20000.00 refugees have made the crossing since the fighting began. many with tales of violence, herana attacked our village and the houses that are many people tried 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. oh,

really says on the thought me, in few weeks. and there, if we don't provide any assistance of the peer pool, ah, varone will be blog. and although the fidget here will be so badly, but to the destruction 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 framing, the fighting a little. he be nice, the people have righty. hows her, welcome, i guess. hello. everyone is welcome. the door is open, the schools, the mosque, the country will all come. 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 had was to save our use to fix the situation from muslims, but but with suppose it cease fire not holding agencies. fair, there's worse to come. while the united nations is warned,

that the conflict in sudan could plunge all of east africa into a humanitarian crisis. to help us understand sedan significance for the region. i talked to mohammed osmond a sudan researcher at human rights watch here in berlin, who hired the new 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 to 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, there's also tension and fighting in board as close to the p n e. yep. yeah. so, so dan, please, as a key location on your graphically but also politically, you know, big part of the tribal groups living in the board, the,

the kind of move around the as well. so any move like this situation is going to get worse unfortunately. and so far, we're not seeing a proper human and their 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. 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 sudan? so the highest we have seen since the air bill 15, we know with wasn't not an isolated incident. it doesn't out come off a failed political process in itself where justice was long prioritized. so what we want from international community is to change course is starting from the un security council. move forward with coordinated set of actions that includes the

expansion of the abs embargo, in sure, no more weapons reaching to the abuse of leaders. that they should be set of target sanctions, though harmed it is good. it is due to harm civilians further when it comes to the you and 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. some sports now and, and buddhist lee, a soccer by and munich played last place how to berlin and munich. the hosts have been out of their comfort zone of usually leading the standings of this stage of the season after darkman dropped points on friday by and were aiming to retake the table lead and they didn't disappoint. beating the berliners to nail myers
