there are many prisoners who are detained or sentenced by means of arbitrary decisions. osmond coverage of voice from prison starts may 12th on d, w. the . this is the w news live from the ukraine issues an air ride to lodge across the entire country, off to russia carries out extensive overnight drone on missile strikes missile attacks on keep and other cities of injured, at least 5 people and destroyed a food warehouse in odessa, ukraine says it's full, some intercepted rules, plus he 5 drones,

launched by russia overnight will to coming up on the program. no less often the slicing in see don exploratory piece talks between the warring factions on the way in saudi arabia. but a string of previous these fires have broken down within hours the can i there i menu, mckinnon. welcome to the program. ukraine has issued a nation wide. ara lot hours off to russia, launched a wave of ass strikes. you probably need an official say at least 5 people were injured in of a nice attacks on keys and at least 4 other cities. the targets, including hockey, pass on nickel live and a desa where a food warehouse was reduced to ashes. the printing and military report, so as he 5 of rainy and may drones entering, it's asked base and says the full of them were destroyed in the capital. keith,

residential buildings were heads and explosions, hud throughout the night. meanwhile, the come on, the rushes valid and i must carry group is claiming moscow has promised now to deliver the weapons that it's demanded in order to continue the on slaughter on eastern ukraine. the ukranian city of buck mood has been the scene of fierce fighting for months. the notorious wagner mercenary group has been leading the russian offensive. but the head of wagner and you have any pre goshen, has repeatedly demanded more weapons and ammunition from the russian defense ministry. now what appears his demands will be met. he confirmed this in a video message on his telegram channel. we have been promised as much immunization or weapons as we need to continue operations. there has not been an unofficial response from moscow. a few days ago, pre goes in lab scathing criticism at defense minister,

so day shall i go and chief of general staff. but larry graphs, him off side showing go, garage him off, whereas my damn your munition de la maya on the 10th of may, we will withdraw from fox movie is listed on the, on the walk in response to promotions threats. the regional leader of judge. yeah. ramos on deer, of what we said his troops could replace. wagner forces ukraine's presidential advisor called the exchange a diversion. every tactic to distract attention from russia's original goal of seizing box moved by may 9th, in time for moscow's victory day parade. celebrating the defeat of nazi germany. the army has been rehearsing for the parade. dw correspondent knit commonly is empty. even i asked him to tell us more about these recent rates,

but we've just had an arid warning for the whole country that ended just a few minutes ago. but i think that was probably prompted by what seems to be a dummy runs by the rest of the plane. so they will often just take off from the epis deep within russian territory. and that will suggest that some solves about the launch. so most of ukraine then goes into highlights, and then they often turn back part of this is just about basically testing ukraine's air defenses. hopefully to breaking point that the russian id and all of this. they think that by basically sending lots of cheap drones this way, keeping all the defenses in ohio looked full week off the we think and basically put it on to so much pressure that when the time comes when perhaps ukrainian, which is it's a lower way to counter offensive that then they will be less effective. we'll have fewer projectiles, few a munitions to use uh to protect those. are you printing troops going into a tech? so basically, a very kind of nervous time here, very sleepless time for people in kids who have 3 hours of sleep, very loud bangs last night. and the sense that russia,

even though they didn't have as many massages, they did the beginning of this, will all still capable of basically putting a lot of stress and people in the everyday lives and distracted people from trying to go about their, their business and their work, let's talk about the mood most go we're hearing has now agreed to deliver more, i munition, to the, to the vault and the power millet tree group, so that it can continue. it's a soul to invest mood. how will this impact the situation that we think any, even we take this announcement at face value, i think it's pretty extraordinary. it's worth taking step back to basically think about the fact that it seemingly requires that kind of an extraordinary public video and an attack on official russian figures on ministers by the head. dividing that by pre goes in that to get munition for a jo that is in the interest of what the company wants them to do. so if it really takes that and the kind of normal channels, the work that says a lot about the kind of relationships between the different parts of russia's military machine right now,

i'm not 100 percent. sure. he's actually going to be like that. i think there are lots of outlets who say this is actually a slap on the risk progression. basically he was told he's not allowed to leave. and now he's trying to say face and say, okay, might the mountains have been met? we are definitely seeing a slowing over some progress and by what they have about the chip sent my most estimates, told us that you under control, but the big victory they wanted for the night. the may for that big military holiday rush of that still seems as far away as it has been months now. now be the un nuclear watchdog is expressing concern about the safety of the jeffery to nuclear power plant. it's of course not the 1st time they've expressed concerns, but, but how serious is the situation that right now of the so the issue is through the months of being a shilling near that plant and potential loss of mains like tricity supply to the pop up, which is crucial to cool those blocks, those rectors, this is the biggest and you pronounced ation in your but what we now have is a totally different level of threat because you know,

the russian seeming we are expecting the ukrainians to launch that contract. and he is a put even knew that pops on the rather than just occasional shilling. they obviously seem to suggest that they think this could be the side of kind of land who the fat tanks, even, you know, maybe infantry will fast. so this is a really, really worrying prospect. this is a power pump that is even within range if, if something with go wrong of millions and millions of civilians on both sides of the front lines. and this is kind of extraordinary to me. after that initial interest in this story, when the problem was taken over by the russians, it's something that seeming each, the outside world has got used to as somehow basically kind of affect it in and doesn't pay a great deal of attention to. but this has to evaluate the situation and even if there was a direct fighting on the kind of grounds of help on, there's also the kind of human factor here. you have people who are looking off that problem, the engineers who try to keep everything safe, who have been under extraordinary pressure now for more than a year. and you know, they could see it. the fear is they could make mistakes off to it. so much pressure and so little sleep and send me

a few resources net. thank so much for that. let's dw that connelly reporting from keith right time. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world and rush, or at least 4 people have died in wild fires raging in the euro mountains. thousands of homes were destroyed and several of the villages were evacuated. the fires of being found by strong winds. authorities have opened an investigation into possible negligence for one of the deadliest places. the officials and the democratic republic of congo, say the death toll from flooding as double to move in 400. thousands are reported missing. that's off to to wrench will reins. that's itself keeping provence. other faults of east africa have also been devastated by heavy rain for representatives of saddam's arrival factions. amazing facies find negotiations in the saudi city of jetta. international media is all hoping to secure a last in peace,

even as fighting continues in saddam's capital up to the 200 conflicts between the sudanese army and the rival rapids support forces. power military is now entering its full week labor 4 years ago. the streets as the dawn look very different to how they look now instead of warring factions, millions were on the streets, cooling for freedom, peace, justice, and revolution. and they eventually did manage to over throw a dictator. now a suit in these activists are choosing the international community of playing a role in this current conflict. the chaos in costume. among the thousands fleeing international diplomats many had been involved just weeks before in efforts to transition from military to civilian rule. now some of the questioning whether they may have done more harm than good in 2019 widespread

protests were followed by a military to the top of the countries longstanding dictates that eventually there was a transitional power sharing agreements between the military and civilians until elections could be held to don, had a new civilian prime minister and a transitional military council. how to solve this is where the trouble began. the council was chaired by general abdel for to elbow hyundai and his deputy was mohammed. i'm done, doug. low amended the leader of the power military rapids support forces. these men now lead the 2 sides in the conflict. hope so the democracy was set back in 2021. when committee input hon deposed the civilian government. but the differences are the power of sharing the hardening. meanwhile, from the us, the military puts this train back on its trends and does what's necessary. i think the support that has been very strong for me and it asked me to present to you in the us. and britain, among other power has resisted coals to sanction the military leadership given

committee. and albert han legitimacy while hoping for better results than the history of violence suggested. any transition is static and saddam, we are particularly delicate stage of this transition. so i really, for both sides are involved in the political process to go the extra myer, to west shreds, drums, restoration of city and wrote in the country. now you've had a whole pragmatism for both. i mean, protests, the us and britain, what's to bridge the generals differences, while the generals with the pulling the forces in the capital and just weeks lisa, the war was on. just mean of del manjeet is a suit in these rights for an award winning social advocate. now, based in london, she joined me here in the studio earlier and i off to what has been like to watch this crisis unfolding from the fall. i mean it's been

a hot breaking. it's been actually hot breaking, especially because this didn't need to happen. yeah, this is not a rule that the sudanese people have a dog. it's not a fight. the people have a dog and right, because ultimately it's a will between 2 generals about who gets to be here the, the big dog in the presidential palace, the sydney's people peacefully had a revolution in 2019 and the demands were very clear. we weren't a civilian government, we want a functioning state. the mother we had earlier said we weren't a functioning, say society. and now we find ourselves only 4 years later in a situation where her phone is being bones, by its own military. people, a fleeting, there were basic things like food and water. and i mean, it has genuinely been hot breaking because it's not at all where i thought any of us. so we would be when we, when we had this wonderful revolution in 2019, i mean it's, it's, it's,

it's been actually so real. can we talk about the international communities role? again, i'm the general was that you were just talking about, did they put too much trust in the generals? that mentioned during the transitional period. i think there is a sense from the international community that you know, if you've got one or 2 people that you can have it at a pragmatic quote unquote relationship with well, where there is a known quantity, then that is the easy short term solution to some sort of transition or some sort of functional governance that you as an international community can understand. but the reality is, as we know in many societies, democracy is a little bit messier. and what the international community should have done is dealt with the civilian sort of resistance committees, the grocery, it's people who actually represented individuals and, and the student is population rather than sort of say, a k, the people that have taken how the military leaders, those of the people will deal with what of the people who actually felt for the

revolution. what do they want, and how can we deal with them? i mean, even today, there's a civilian front. this letter, the a group of, of civilians including the rest of the resistance committees, the unions and so on that represent the voice of the people who have said here a one to 3 things that we want. but of a, at the table with the international community nurse. and i just ask you very quickly though, how come they circumvent the generals? i mean, they're the ones with the money and the power. well, where does the money come from? right, the international committee also has a role in stopping the money, getting to because these generals and operating in a vacuum, they are operating in the society in a global system where the money is coming from somewhere where the support is. and the legitimacy is coming from some way that if we can talk it, those international community has the ability to target their resources and their legitimacy. and essentially push them out of the picture, push them out of a center of the table and bring the people who represent. so then the society into the center does mean a bell. my g decision is right to enact this. thank you so much for your time. we

appreciate it. thank you. and his a reminder of our top story, flea ukraine has issued an, a rated loss across the entire country, off to russia, carried out extensive nighttime drone and miss all strikes. ukrainian officials say at least 5 people instead of a nice and strikes on keep. and in odessa, food warehouse was reduced to fully have time full section full uh documentary that follows twin sisters from sierra leone. and search for best buy the, the the is, it is someplace how in key more people than ever on the move in such a base in life. but it tries to get it in cardboard. that's the, that's one of the.
