the story behind the news, ah, life. we rule about unbiased information. fremont, done by. ah, ah dw news live from berlin. ukraine fights off a new wave of russian strikes. air defense tracer. fire lights up the sky over cave, as ukraine says that it has destroyed more than a dozen incoming missiles. also coming up, i don't agree with flood of mar putin's regime with which instigated this war

against ukrainians were like brothers to us. and we made a russian student who fled house arrest and the country after becoming another victim of the prevalent cracked town on opposition and more fighting reported in sudan capital despite rifle military forces of bring to extend a ceasefire. the un warns of a humanitarian crisis as tens of thousands flee to neighboring countries, plus byron munich back on top of the booth asleep. go with the wind over struggling to berlin. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. ukraine says that it has down to more than a dozen russian missiles. in the early hours of monday, ukraine's military said that it's air defense systems intercepted 15 out of 18. air

launched cruise missiles, an air raid alert and cave lasted almost 3 hours. while the missiles did not hit the cap at all, they damaged buildings and left dozens wounded in eastern ukraine. russia has intensified it strikes on ukraine in recent days. in anticipation of caves, spring counter offensive. the w correspondent, economy as joining us now from cave. so they tell us a little bit more about these air strikes. this was a very loud night hearing here. lots of anti aircraft systems working. no attacks, successful on care of those rockets were all shut down, but in all across the country, we've seen some significant damage to property, but also to people's lives. with those reports from the east, nearby pro of mold 30 wounded men attack on an industrial unit. their houses nearby, coming up with sca severe, severe disruption, severe damage to those homes, people suffering under defects of smoke. they're also reports from the west,

from when it's key of anti aircraft systems coming to work best. it seems like the extent of this is a bit bigger than we initially thought, but the kind of big a conclusion to take away from this is that 15 of those 18 russian cruise missiles worship. donald religious proves, once again, the ukraine's anti aircraft systems are in a much better state than they were 3 months ago. the 2nd wave of mrs strikes on ukraine since friday is, is what we have seen today. and nick, tell us these attacks appear to be picking up in the past days. why now some people have, as you'd mentioned, they said that this was connected to ukraine's expected counter offensive as people to saying, because the russians can, i think we saw towards the end of the winter that they were running out missiles. the missiles that were shut down of ukraine when they were opened up in the serial numbers with checks turned out. they had just been produced a few weeks before. and basically being said from the factories to the front lines . and now after almost 2 months, month and a half of basically a bit of quiet away from the front lines. no real,

a massive use of those cruise missiles. now, it seems like russia has once again built up its stalks and is in a position to use is missiles. nick, what's the situation on the front line, including in batman? so embankment will be to see endless. endless, basically street street house to house fighting. this is a very bloody or very shocking, the theatre of this war. some place where the battle's gone on way longer than any one had expected. it seems that most of the center of the city is now in russian hands, but ukraine's austell there and they are defending their route in and out their supply route every couple of weeks to get reports of the russians trying to take control of that ro, trying to in circle ukrainian forces and then being pushed back for now it seems like the ukranian troops are still able to secure that crucial route in and out. but i think it is a question. more of when robin, if russian troops take battle in full. but we don't know the price of all this. it seems like russia is definitely not doing much to minimize its losses. their huge losses on the russian side,

and potentially far fewer losses on the ukrainian side. but as always, we don't really have a chance to over proof to check and to kind of be 100 percent. sure about those figures d, w correspondent, nick connelly and keith, thank you so match 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 oppression since the soviet union. recent targets have included people like or less yet chris java. a university student who was put under house arrest for anti war posts on social media. as our next report shows, she happens to be one of the lucky ones. out of her shackles. and on the run or less, your crypt 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

a 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 though, would i have to run for miles through the forest killing yet of but she succeeded. from bellow, rose alicia 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, 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 what it was

that was my protest with it all completely. i chose the most harmless methods for it. well, at least that's what i thought. suppose i don't agree with vladimir putin's regime, which instigated this war against ukrainians, who are like brothers to us, brad's clock, a 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 flood email kara border, 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 pretty class growth. and that suits to 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 a russia perhaps that wouldn't have to remain a dream. and for more we are joined now by did he is former mosque of era chief

theory of a shadow, who filed that report? uri's, now at riga. as d. w is banned from reporting and russia. europe tell us, it seems like no one is really safe from being accused of treason or discrediting the army in russia. yes, sir. anyone who publicly shows is that he or she disagrees with the policy of vladimir putin actually risks being prosecuted by the law. and because most of putting spotless it is his war against the grand and consequently most of the protests against it and the russian media have hardly talked about social problems, health problems, economic problems for a long time. such problems are glossed over most of the reporting in russian media is about the circle, special new to the ration, and that's what this coin is. war is called in russia and rushes alleged enemies in the west. and anyone who doubts the sense of purpose of the war and ukraine and dust, so not only in his mind in his head, but publicly risks ending up in court,

yet how is the cracked and indian by analysts theory? i mean, is it inc seen as a sign of here on the part of put well, such draconian punishments and we are talking about thousands of russians by now. such punishments obviously have one aim, which is intimidation. and it's obviously important for the kremlin to show that anyone can be punished. starting with kara more zaya, well known russian oppositional edition. we saw him in the report down to a simple young woman somewhere in the northern russia or less. yeah. herself gave the answer to your question in my report, if not only she, but all young women in russia took to the streets, it would be a mass protest which the criminal most likely fear given that next year russia votes for a new president, putin is going to run again, it's not just the russian intelligence service flying on people. there have been reports of some people reporting on their friends on their neighbors. i mean, this is stuff that, that you know, was seen during the stolen era. how widespread is this?

well, wouldn't speak of a must phenomenon in this context, according to russian human rights or human rights activists. and over the $5700.00 cases of prosecution for so called is coding over the army. fewer than 200 are based on reports from neighbors and friends. and that there are such cases, and these 200 alone are bad enough, but they are not a must enunciation as in the days of years of started not yet because one thing is clear, the more oppressive the system is. the more such cases that there i can be in the future and the case of a lesser group. so or from petra's voskus, one of those cases nowadays you're ever shadow. thank you so much. and here are some other stories making headlines, voters in uzbekistan have approved a referendum that will allow the president to remain in power until 2040. the

cartoon. despite an agreement between bible military forces to extend a cease fire agreement for another 72 hours, the truth is meant to provide some relief for civilians caught up in the fighting. now in its 3rd week. and there are growing concerns about the wider impact. the united nations has been 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 led tens of thousands to seek refuge in neighboring countries across the east and border and chad, 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 on on i went back to our village and the houses are many people try to escape with all the killed. the un refugee agency has boasted supplies of relief items like sleeping bags,

fire is not holding agencies fair. there's worse to come. the u. s. government has seized california is embattled 1st republic bank. a major wall street bank. jp morgan chase is stepping in to buy it. the san francisco based 1st republic is the 3rd mid sized bank to fail in 2 months. after silicon valley bank and signature bank, jp morgan chase bank will assume all of 1st republics loans and most of its assets . the bank has a large amount of uninsured deposits and a high exposure to low interest rate loans. let's bring in an employee. he's joining us on the set here for the that the business to another bank in crisis. walk us through what has happened to 1st republican and how this takeover has unfolded. so as you mentioned, the problem with 1st republic was the same that we saw before with silicon valley bank and signature bank. so exposure to low interest rates loans, a lot of uninsured deposits. and this is some, somehow

a final ripple of what we've seen happening already. in march, the bank was in trouble already for a while back in march. other banks tried to pump in liquidity and confidence by putting deposits into the bank that didn't really work. and especially the tipping point was last week went on monday. the financial results for 1st national bank, 1st republic, sorry, bank came out and it was clear that they were bet. so they lost more than 100000000000 deposits in the last 3 months. and the net income was down 40 percent like the numbers that clearly would put any bank in a spiral. now 1st of all, because already in trouble, the f d i see. so the entity in the u. s. that will take care of this problems, came in very quickly during the week and over the weekend. then they found among all the offers that came from the private sector, a good one,

which was the one from jp morgan chase of their taking over. it's worth remembering, this is the 2nd now, 2nd largest bank failure in us history with 230 billions of acids involved in this . how high is the risk of further contagion? because, i mean, that's what people are really worried about right now. absolutely. so i would say that the f d i c stepping in so quickly as is clearly put a hole than that the, the, the biggest risk and the fear of investors would have been that the, the se would take over the bank completely. instead, what's happening is that he se, as favored a take over from jay morgan chase, so private capital taking over in this case, as i said, this is the final ripple for a bank that was feeding that mold low interest rates, loans and exposure. a lot of uninsured deposits in that sense old fully, this is just the latch, last chapter of that crazy. it's in march in march, a lot of criticism for the lack of proper oversight that led to the collapse of silicon valley bank. had the lessons been learned, tell us just briefly. well,

yeah, i would say the direct answer is yes, because we've seen how the f d i see dealt with this problem right now. they were very quick to act and very quick to know that the real fear was them taking over. instead, they favored it take over from a private entity. basically a big band came in and it's war chest. and that's also, of course ensuring and saying, look, the financial system in america is strong and resilient enough to do this. it doesn't need to have a public intervention. andre, an employee t w business. thank you so much. here are some other headlines thinking news in the taiwanese capital type pay workers have gathered to protest for higher salaries and better working conditions. the 1st of may, i also knew his labor day one day in many countries, is traditionally celebrated with workers' rights rallies, marches, and other paraguay as ruling conservative party candidates. santiago pena will
