verse of like a superpower in our series. 42. the answers almost everything. this week on d, w. ah, this is the w news live from burma and russia claims to have filed an assassination attempt on president puritan. these images are set to show the moment a drone attack. the kremlin in moscow, cave denies involved also on the program, a school shooting leaf serbia in shock lease in belgrade. the rest of the 13 year old boys suspected of killing at least 8 children. and the security guard and on

world press freedom day, the w goes inside, brushing that tiger info, one of the countries few remaining independent media. ah, i'm sure gail, welcome to the program. russia claims to her foil, the ukrainian drone attack on the kremlin, alleging it was an attempt on president routed life. and his footage is circulated on russian telegram channels and, and claims to show the alleged attack and smoke rising above the main criminal palace. the w is not independently verified. the footage russia says it will retaliate when an hour it sees fit will keep. meanwhile denies any involvement. he is ukrainian president vladimir savanski during

a visit defendant. in the last out, you know, i can repeat, repeat this message, and i think it will middle, as will be understandable for, for everybody. we don't at tech portion where moscow are we fly to home on our territory. we're defining our will just as it is, we don't have, you know, enough up and for these. that's why we don't use it any anywhere for us. that is a deficit that we cons banded. and we didn't attack put him. we'll leave it to tribunal. i've got more on this from our correspondence, nick connelly in the ukrainian capital, and jennifer palka in riga where d. w has been operating from since rush in the authorities closed on our moscow office. welcome both that start to work with unit conley. president zalinski is

denial. there couldn't be any clear it but a cynic or indeed a russian might say, well, he would say that wouldn't be well, yes and no fil oversee. this is a big deal as president doesn't comment on these kind of things on a regular basis. but i think if you claimed was behind these attacks and that would later prove that would be pretty bad for present the landscape in federal credibility. this would be very high risk trans tonight. if then that could then be relied, the proven not to be the case. i think this is about the fact that they are just very worried. they're worried that if you know, the kind of suspicion rise that ukraine is behind this. but lots western countries have been supplying ukraine weapons with the provider that they can only be used on ukrainian territory that would cause problems with further deliveries. and that would get into ukraine to a lot of diplomatic trouble with countries who are worried about some big conflict ration some bigger kind of diplomatic contagion. that said, trying to touch on russian infrastructure close to ukraine have become more

frequent. so ease the presumption that that key is behind those and why the parents increase in, in attacks. so i think it's really important to make that distinction between the attacks that are logistically a lot easier and a lot more logical in terms of their targets checking. fueled oppose and railways close to ukraine's borders, and those are definitely attacks that prison lensky has never come out and denied. and if they are denied the tool, they're denied by can 2nd or 3rd echelon, new government officials here in key. and they don't let the president lensky anywhere near that. i think some of this is happening now because it is about trying to disrupt the rushes, logistics ahead of ukraine, expected counter offensive. but it's also about the conflict political war and about showing that for all its resources for all its anti aircraft, anti drug systems. russia is very vulnerable and not able to defend its population in the way that the russian state propaganda suggests. when talking to its own population, palka,

reger talk us through then what russia is saying happened well, kremlin spokesperson domestic discourse called it a planned terrorist attack with the aim to take vladimir putin life. but according to him, vladimir putin was not present in the kremlin, but worked from navarre guide you over. the russian investigative committee is now likely to lounge an investigation on terrorism. and of course, the kremlin, blamed to crane and to you for this attack. according to their kremlin st press statement, quote, the russian side reserves the right to retaliate when and where it sees fit, unquote. but how exactly a retaliation could look like? well, he did not specify, but it's not only the kremlin russian deputies and propagandists openly and loudly called for strikes on key if and even ukraine's president zalinski his residence to jennifer bell, however, bound to be questions about whether this alleged attack was organized within russia or abroad, or even staged by russia itself. of course there will be questions,

especially because of the frequency of dro and attacks or explosions in the last month, weeks and even days full. we also have to keep in mind that so far these reports are coming from russian state media. they have not been confirmed by western media or experts. the only clear statement we have comes from the kremlin and from ukraine, which vehemently denies being involved. of course, there is the possibility of russia having staged this attack, trying to use this to legitimize the war. and ukraine is specially because they waited a whole day before publishing the footage. also, on may, 9th, there will be a parade held on the red square to celebrate rush as a victory in world war 2. so what better timing to evoke, more patriotic feelings in russian society than showing them that the enemy is here almost at their doorstep in the kremlin. thank you for that. so jennifer, jennifer palka and riga and nick connelly in k. thank you both

we just heard from blah, blah, miss lansky, who's in finland for a meeting with nordic leaders. he was greeted by the president of finland, which became nato's newest member. last month of the tribe president is scheduled to meet us, is to attend a summit with the leaders of sweden, norway, denmark, and iceland. i'm police here in berlin say we're also preparing for visit of the credit present to the gym capital a later this month. and neither key nor birthing have confirmed the plot to get more from our politics corresponding to thomas are. welcome, thomas. what are you hearing about this visit by president that asking to berlin? well, several media outlets here in germany. phil have been quoting police spokespeople that have said that they are preparing for a possible visit by followed the muse lensky to germany. the following week. sir

lensky is due to receive the charlemagne prize in the german city of atlanta. on the weekend of the 14th of may, it is unclear whether he would attend in person, but several media outlets here in this country have been discussing that possibility in particular, citing that police spokesperson, however, any other details are unclear? there has been a lot of speculation and as you stressed in your introduction, neither the german government nor authorities in kiev have been discussing that possibility of have confirmed any kind of it. but if it's coming out of the police, that would seem like an unusual turn of events giving advance notice of the ukrainian president's movements. it is unusual and it has then the potential for conflict. and it's important here to stress 2 things. on the one hand, the german government usually speaks about possible visits during their

regular friday press conference for the following week. so, unless it's something that would happen one day to the next, it's unusual that such a visit would be confirmed on a wednesday or thursday. and then there's also the situation that followed di meter lensky himself does not necessarily give a lot of advance notice on his trips it, if he does travel and we just saw it. now for example, in the case of the nordic visit, it tends to be an announce all the details seem to come only very short notice. so these 2 elements. i certainly important to understand all the discussion now around that possible visit here to judge. that's a thomas sat date of policies correspond, thomas sparrow, lookups lost or is making news around the world. ukraine says at least 16 people have been killed in rush and strikes on the head on region. a more than 20, more wounded. and here on city are high for market and train station was shell.

women and children that are down about the war. drove us from our home. we were without children. when the armed people came and we fled to the bush with how is it possible, how much he sudanese refugees have fled? not only to chad, but to south sudan, the central african republic, and egypt. many traveling vast distances on foot or on donkeys. the united nations refugee agency, and, and deos, including the world food program are on the ground in chad. but the scope of the problem is huge. the new arrivals from sudan joined more than 400000 sudanese refugees already here. and chad is struggling with widespread hunger amongst its own population. the crisis in sudan and the pressure of huge flows of people creating even more instability. their ripple effect for the region is significant.

it's a real concern, and we just need to find the fully need the 2 parties to the conflict to come together and find a way to resolve the conflict. because this has the possibility of the stimulating their whole region as agencies and the government struggle to keep up. many people are taking shelter under trees and lack access to food and clean water. every one here is working against the clock. the rainy season is just weeks away, making access much more difficult and hundreds of thousands more people are expected to arrive. if fighting doesn't stop. restrictions on press, freedom in russia increased significantly since it invaded di ukraine. new laws not forbid journalist from criticizing kremlin circle, special military operation. and most independent media outlets have either been

closed down or forced out of the country on the 30th anniversary of world press freedom day we look now at one of the few independent outlets left. a tiger info which operates from siberia o, in the name of the law, stopped this action immediately. the police warning is unequivocal. the scene an anti war demonstration in noble, severe sc a year ago. these pictures were taken by reporters from the local internet portal tiger dot info. one of the few independent media outlets still working in russia. but since the beginning of the war and ukraine, their work has changed. originally, this early, we used to report on life in siberia for the whole of russia. now it's the other way around. we report on life in russia for siberia because everything that is currently happening in our country is reported by the national media from a different angle is what the mugger william along that angle is unconditional

support of the kremlin policies, especially the war and ukraine. critics are silenced with draconian punishments made possible by a law criminalizing anything, the kremlin sees as discrediting the armed forces. that means that virtually any critical statement about the actions of the russian army can lead to a fine or imprisonment, which is why most independent media have had to leave russia, are close down altogether. tiger dot info decided to stay and continue the web portals. now 18 year history, but it hasn't been easy. and well, one was really when you read the woods, you said you were forced to constantly maneuver and not cross the red lines of the circle of people who continued to talk to us has become smaller. the smaller because even those who have always sympathized with us are now forced to keep their distance away from it has become much harder to get information

in order to protect colleagues from possible prosecution. tiger dot info decided not to report directly on the war, but on it's consequences for people on economic problems, social problems. and of course on mobile ization, the creators constantly face opposition from the authorities. recently, they were met with a hostile reaction from state television. when tiger dot info exposed to deputy people who signed up as a volunteer for the front and disappeared on his way to ukraine, a traitor in the ranks. that's a headache for the authorities. and almost that's just just for when the course we are all afraid. the problem norm, but either you are trapped in this fear of a spring or you can overcome it and make change happen. what this was for the lead of course, this change can only be achieved with small steps. meaning when you might restore what we shouldn't just stay silent again. i could, i mean no, when you watch it,

although the media regulator blocks tiger dot info a year ago, the website reaches its audience through vpn encryption. and they want to continue reporting on russia in russia. one of the independent outlets forced out of russia is tv rain, also known as a t. v dodged moved to latvia to being forced to close its moscow studio after russia invited to ukraine. take on the child care is the editor in chief and asked him whether they'd ever considered staying in moscow under the new media rules. no, basically was not even an option because after the, after our website was blocked and after the duma, russian, parliament adopted these new legislation or so called so you can use information about russian military and so called is true nation. no rush military. we had basically 2 options. the 1st option was to stay in russia continue working like

we've been doing over 12 years of our existence and in a couple of days go to jail. the 2nd option would be seen russia and become basically the art department of information from you. so i'm to say that it was not an option. i'm joking. so the only option we had was if we wanted to continue working for us to leave the country and to rebuild it, to the station somewhere, somewhere else. and that's what we did. and so how is that force relocation changed your report? well, it's changed everything at the same time and he did not change anything. i mean, for anyone watching tv rain, i think not a lot of things are different from what it used to be before in the beginning. the full scale invasion. but at the same time, it's something completely new,

something completely different. now we are enemies of the state because before the beginning of the war we were labeled as so called for an agent. and the same time, there were some rules, not laws, but some rules. and it was possible for independent media to stay in a rush and to work in russian report in russia. now when we left the country after being forced to leave the country and when we re launch our broadcasts, and we are now enemies of the state because we are telling the truth about this horrible war waged by russian government. and of course, it's very difficult to report from russia. we are not able to report or is there because it's not safe. we only have some people working on anonymous basis. thanks to internet. it's it's, it's easy to get information. now it's easier than it could be that still

it's very, very difficult. and that states, as, as enemies of the state, as, as you put it, what does that entail? what does that does? what does that mean? does that put you in danger? well that's, it starts with and somewhere. it's all the how i understand the attitude from russian authorities towards russian independent media. i just understand that everything has changed since the february 24th. everything has changed legally and everything has changed, illegal it. i mean, we know that some critics of russian government were poisoned even in europe over last years. and we understand that credit is scared to death to the independent information. because otherwise it wouldn't have forced all the independent needed to leave the country. and we perfect understand that independent

media such as tv re, with it's huge audience in russia, is a big problem for the russian government. ok, well we wish you well and you're in denver. thank you for talking to us john. chuck independent tv. right. thank you. think it as if you're up today, i'll have more world news at the top of a i've finished vantage, a house dw asia in just a moment. the headlines, of course, available around the clock on d, w dot com on the d w app with with
