ah ah ah this is the w lie from by then mass protest in france against planned pension reforms, clashes in the capital, those hundreds of thousands used traditional made demonstrations, devised their anger at president mack calls plans to raise the retirement age. will take your life to paris. also on the program. ukraine fights off a new wave of russian ass strikes,

air defense tracer. fire lights of the skies are the key this morning that ukraine says it destroyed more than a dozen incoming messiah. i don't agree with florida marapoo trans regime, which instigated this warning against ukrainians, were like brothers to me to russian students who fled house arrest and her country after becoming another victim of the kremlin, to craft out on opposition and more fighting reported in sedans, capital despite rival military forces agreeing to extend the si, fi, un warned. so the humanitarian crisis is turning into a full blown catastrophe. ah, i'm so gay. welcome to the program. workers facing rising inflation have taken to the streets across europe to mark the labor day holiday. one of the largest demonstrations is in france,

where police of class with protesters on the streets of the capital. paris demonstrates his face tear gas from police as expressed anger at the government's decision last month to raise the pension age from $62.00 to $64.00. hundreds of thousands of join the march, demanding higher salaries, and better working conditions, straight to powder. so when we join our correspondence, rosie the child, welcome rosie units. we're hoping for a big china across the country. what's happening there in paris? looks to be the break. dean turner. this is the main margin of the capital power is people have been marked on the floor. i along the reason, i've seen a heavy police present national with a fight that the light fire is burning on the streets. and i've also been approached by people say, with

over at that plan to raise the minimum retirement age. to 64. i've spoken to plenty of people that feel the government isn't least they are much about anger, directed personally to work french president emanuel mark calling to say, understand some of the anger overall about this before, but said it's very much needed. you said in order to make the whole system financially viable, my day is a traditional day of workers protest around the world is today's time out there and from significantly bigger than you'd expect. well, you certainly are calling this historic and of course, particularly because of the context. it's probably just a couple of weeks after the fall was passed that passed under controversial circumstances. because the french government use special powers to bypass the usual parliamentary scrutiny. that might be expected, and i think big question really go with the law gospel but major for the like

nation because we have to protest over the last week about 4 but numbers more just like fighting. and secondly, what will be the longer term political follows? all they are definitely see here what i was i spoke you said the only way to be fake for me the far right it been all the i a some of those. yeah, i spoke with thank you for that, rosie rosie birch i have in paris. now ukraine says it is down more than a dozen russian missiles in the early hours of monday morning. it's better, she said, the air defense systems intercepted 15 out of 18 russian adults cruise missiles. missiles didn't hit the capital, but damaged buildings in easton, ukraine, and left dozens wounded rushes. defense ministry says it carried out strikes on ukrainian military sites and that all of its targets had been hit. last, i corresponded nick connelly in keith to give me more detail about these attacks.

well, as you mentioned, there no casualties in here, but certainly a lot more activity. why did geography than just keep all the 30 people wounded in the east, the country near the stiff new pro. it's believed they live near an industrial facility, and that this was kind of collateral damage, people suffering from smoking relation and also from the explosion windows being blown out of their friends. they're also more recently, in recent hours, we've heard more detail about other attacks. other missiles in the west, the country near term it on the so we need ski. so it does seem like there is some kind of logic behind these attacks, but it does certainly comes as a shock after basically the best part of 2 months without attacks beyond the front lines. and people here and key of now very coach the fact that those arid warnings are very serious indeed. yet why is russia now intensifying those attacks given this law that there's been what i think most kind of experienced analysts

the most normally reliable. they kind of say that this is just because russia can russia use a huge number of christmas cells over the winter, over the 1st part of this here, attacking ukraine's energy infrastructure that didn't work out. power didn't go out, the light didn't go out there and you brain. and we were a russian missiles being picked up on the fields of ukraine with serial numbers indicates they'd been produced a couple of weeks before. and it basically been set straight to front lines. and now the expectation is that basically they were able to build up a bit of a supply to produce more to maybe get some new spare parts past those sanctions. speculation that some of the spare parts might be coming from iran, and that this is now just part of russia's continued campaign to try and put pressure psychologically on ordinary ukrainians. far away from the front lines in the hope that they might push they government to come some kind of a rental with the russians. i'm what news from a back road, nick, nick, where the ground battle has been most intense. always hearing above

awful, huge casualties on the russian side. there's also been low reports about conflict within the russian forces between the wagner mercenary group and the regular russian army within between vegan and other mercenary groups operating there. and there is a sense that this is getting incredibly difficult to come to now, but they just not picking up the successes that they desperately need. ukraine's austell holding on. they are still be in a position to protect their main route in and out. but it has be said that russia controlled by most estimates by 8 percent of the city. so it is a question of when rather than if russia takes hold of batman. but for now, it seems like ukraine losses are much less than what russia is investing there for not much of, again, a strategic gate. okay. thank you for that may commonly in keith or russia's crackdown or opponents of the war in ukraine has been well documented. but lately accredited has stepped up its efforts to stifle criticism, leading to what some, according the widest campaign of repression. a sense of soviet union. reason

targets have included people like alyssa could solver a university student who was put under house arrest for anti war post on social media. but her luck has just improved 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 boisterously fitted 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? but she succeeded. from below, 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, 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. oh, my already 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. radical of latin that order. alexia is one of the almost $20000.00 russians who had to pay for their anti war stance. lately 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 alessio did. she believes repression and russia will get even worse because the kremlin fears its own citizens. was this appeal that what if all the young women who were against the war had taken to the streets and gone to the kremlin creone? yeah, it's clear that people must be intimidated because of this pretty class growth. and

that suits the russian regime. berry wall at the moment. at his, his credit in more or less yes, dream is to become a journalist in another free russia perhaps that wouldn't have to remain a dream. let's take a closer look there at russia's crackdown on opposition where the vladimir ashore cove, who was a russian opposition. politician currently living in london is executive director of the anti corruption foundation. that's an engine founded by jailed or russian opposition leader. i like st. navarro me. or welcome to the w. what room is there for opposition in current day russia, given the kremlin scrapper? since the start of this brutal aggression of russia goes to craig, a number of repressive laws has been put in place by russian government that make it very dangerous for people to criticize the war that russia has unleashed. the

protest that happened over the 1st weeks of invasion have faded out and now we see ridiculous ridiculous verdicts and people. busy can get fines or even jails for anti war posts on social media or just for going out to the streets with blank sheets of paper. there are a number of from in trust in a position that has a in jail. right? so a figure such as yourself, what can you do then to put pressure on the kremlin? well, i am lucky, the last 10 years i have been working in an organized group that over years emerged as the most prominent article in force. so they ante corruption foundation, which was started by alexia nevada. nate, we had to relocate out of rush in 2021. we now focus on the 4 main

areas. first, we operate the most popular channel on your queue that talks about current events and brings words of truth to russian population. second, we continue our investigations into corruption and into human rights used by russian authorities. 3rd, working with a client to sign that form of russians who live in russia and who are under take various to word activities from posting until leafless to throw throwing molotov cocktails at the recruitment centers. com. so that's what we, our goal is to engage with the russian population because the change in ration will come from russia, from inside. and so just, just to understand this clearly, do we take the repression to be one thing or 2 things. and i'll explain what i mean . do we, do we take that the repression?

there's absolutely no opposition to the war in ukraine allowed. plus there is some appearance of opposition allowed for the the way the politics works in russia. do you understand what about that sort of distinction? there are a few brace people who have been, ah, in russia during the war and who are not afraid to speak up. like, ah, yeah, yeah, and latin america or alexi, the only obviously he was jailed before the war started, but even from the harsh conditions of russian prison. and he sent his words against the war and against his resume. but for an average, russian to protest means are risking their liberty. and in some cases their life are so not that many people do that ever and the sand understood. i'm

speaking of alex in the valley. he was in exile here in germany. but he returned to russia 2 years ago where he's been in prison ever since. in hindsight, was it a mistake for him to return? there is no hindsight in history, and he is returned to russia, followed his political strategy. and why shouldn't here return the work of his life was in russia, millions of supporters are in russia. he has done nothing wrong. so it was natural for him to return to russia even despite the threat of incarceration. thank you so much for joining us. a call from the russian anti corruption foundation. thank you . thank you for having to look at some of stores breaking news around the world. us regulators have taken control of the trouble. the 1st republic bank can strike a deal to sell its assets to a j. p. morgan chase 1st. republic had assets worth about $230000000000.00 more

than a $100000000000.00 in deposits. it's the 2nd largest retail bank to fail in the u. s. history a powerful tornado has torn through palm beach gardens in the us state of florida, causing widespread damage. the winds overturned carson damage toes and no injuries have been reported. voters in it was back is down, have approved constitutional changes that will allow the president to remain in power until 2040 the government a claim to referendum would also usher in human rights reforms. electoral officials said the change has been backed by 90 percent of voters. international observers say the vote lacked genuine political pluralism and competition. turkeys president, reggie type early ones as a leader of the so called the slamming state has been killed in a turkish intelligence operation. the president and set up a who's staying out karachi a died in syria on saturday. he's the 3rd i asked leader reported to have been

our truce violence broke out again in the capital her tomb. while foreign governments are scrambling to evacuate their nationals, thousands of sudanese are seeking refuge in neighboring countries but many have no choice but to hide in their homes. amid rapidly deteriorating conditions. we hear the sounds of artillery it can fall in the street and front all the one behind continuing. mia shadow. we have to sleep on the floor. there is no water, electricity, there is no food. my thing. why murphy, for her, my in addition to food shortages and yos, war and that sedans, health care system is on the brink of collapse or nike for all li, i'd get many working and trained minds in the health care sector are fleeing sudan to my because there is a withdrawal of many engineers and non ingenious due to direct attacks. by all

means it's a disaster leg imaginable. boucher at abilene fiarty in one of them or even before the fighting of up to it a 3rd of should a nice were dependent on some form of humanitarian assistance. now fear so growing that a prolong conflict could spread to the broader region. it has suffered multiple conflict in the past decade and climate change has left its deadly mark as well. with severe drought and one of the world's worst food and security crisis. has the country moves deeper into crisis. sudanese people are abroad or calling for international action to end the violence. let's explore this with the john toby. he's a vice president of policy and programs at the truman national security project in washington. before that he was director of the africa program at freedom house. welcome to the w. should we have seen jacqueline me not, or should we have seen this conflict coming,

especially given the way things unfolded after the revolution in 2019 unfortunately, it's not too surprising because at the helm of this country, you have 2 generals who each effectively leave their own militaries and the thought of them co existing in the long run is far fetched. they have competing interests. they both want to be on top. and so well it was inevitable. there was a pretty high likelihood that they would come in the conflict. and unfortunately, that's what we're seeing over these last few weeks with devastating results. right? so as this plays out, how do you see any, do you see it grinding on until one or other? when so do you see an international intervention? my hope is certainly that some sort of peace process, some sort of negotiation can kick in very quickly, given the destruction that's happening every day. but i think honestly is going to

be very difficult because both of the generals and the forces they command they are accustomed to fighting. they are accustomed to getting what they want through fighting. and it's awfully hard to see now how they co exist was hard to see how they co exist, even before deciding kicked off. now it's especially difficult to see what that formula is. i don't think that there's any going back to the formula that was keeping some degree of peace as a just a few weeks ago. now that we've seen so much carnage over these next or the last few weeks. so certainly the hope has to be that negotiations with strong leadership from the region, strong leadership from the united states. and just about every other world power involved is going to encourage them both to stand down or at least to make a significant pause fighting rock. but no military intervention, i would have

a hard time seeing that, i think that's only going to happen in the rarest of circumstances. and i don't see that being in the cards in sudan. i think this is resolved peacefully through a negotiation process. meanwhile, we have thousands fling from neighboring countries like chad and eritrea. all of those countries equipped to help them not especially no because sudan is surrounded by countries that have a lot of their own difficulties. you see people fleeing to chad, you see people leading to the central african republic. you see people claim assess sedan. all of these are countries that have substantial internal instability and very few resources to support large numbers of refugees. also the case in egypt also the case in ethiopia. a number of people are congregating in part sudan

and then crossing over into saudi arabia. and perhaps there's more resources there to support refugees, but only limited, frankly. so i'd say in a say it's an extremely difficult situation for people who are trying to play the country, including those in cartoon, because it's such a far distance from cartoon to get to any of those neighboring countries. ok, terrible situation. we thank you for outlining it so clearly too much john, attending from the truly national security project. thank you. and get ah football on. and germany's bonus league sunday, saw by munich play last place had to belin in munich of the house, have been out of a comfort zone, of usually leading the standings of the stage of the season after dorman, to drop points on friday by and were able to retake the table laid, and they didn't disappoint to beating the bonus to new buyers. shocking 31 defeat

last 28 home matches against heter. we couldn't go in the 1st half hour chances create it was difficult to create big chances and then we were happy that we could take one after the 1st one. you can still see that we some, some somehow feel that we have something to lose now. and after the 2nd one, finally you see to play us more relaxed, more confident. so this is the situation in which we are in i'm, i'm happy that the players got a deserved win today. the definitive ph retake 1st place with result and now have a one point lead over 2nd place. jordan and forward along a sergio perez took advantage of a fortunately time safety car to beat his red bull. racing teammate, manifest happened to victory the arab by john grown prey of his comes after this prince race triumph, which the mess can secure the day before. as red bull kept up,
