a life not just of live season, 3 of our award winning documentary series, her women in asia, the . this is the w news live and from by then ukraine issues an a rated loss across the entire country off to russia, carries as extensive of the nitrogen and missile strikes. miss all attacks on keys and other cities injure at least 5 people at destroy a food warehouse in odessa, ukraine says it's full since intercepted pool. 35 thrones,

launched by russia to play tonight will. so coming up on the program, no less up in the facing and see don exploratory piece tools between the warring factions on the way in saudi arabia. but a string of previous si size hasn't broken down within an hour. the color that remind you keeps mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. ukraine has issued a nationwide arrow, a just hours of to rush. i launched a wave of the strikes you creating an official say at least 5 people were injured and of a nice attacks on teeth and at least 4 of the cities. the targets include hockey hassle and make life and odessa, where a food warehouse was reduced to ashes the for any and military reports. the c, 5 of radian may drones entering its s, but is and says,

all of them were destroyed in the capital t's residential buildings were hit, and explosions well heard throughout the night. meanwhile the come on, the rushes bought the most merry group is claiming moscow has promised to deliver the weapons with it demanded in order to continue the onslaught on eastern new crime. the ukrainian 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 and weapons as we need to continue operations. there has not been an unofficial response from moscow. a few days ago, pre goes in landscaping criticism at defense minister,

so day shall i go and chief of general staff, but larry grass, him off, high, high joy, go garage him off. whereas my damn your munition de la maya on the 10th of may, we will withdraw from fox movies listed on the, on the walk in response to precautions, threats the regional leader of judge yeah. rom. so i'm to dear off and that's always that his troops could replace. wagner forces ukraine's presidential advisor called the exchange of diversion. harry 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, corresponding knit. connolly is in t. then i asked him to tell us more about these re recent rates. we've just had an

airbag 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 idea 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 wage of 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 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 new 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 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 it by pre goes in that to get munition for. it's a joke that is in the interest of what the company wants them to do. so if it really takes that and become 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 alice who say this is actually a slap on the risk of 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 80 percent. 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 means that tricity supply to the pop up, which is actually crucial to cool those blocks, those rectors, this is the biggest and you pronounced station 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 counter tech news. i put these in new laptops on the rather just occasional shilling. they obviously seem to suggest that they think this could be the site 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 it's 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 do they could see it. the fear is they could make mistakes off to. it's

so much pressure and so little sleep and send me a few resources. net thanks so much for that. let's dw that connelly reporting from keith. and here's a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world. in russia or at least 4 people have died in wildfire as raging in the ural mountains. thousands of homes were destroyed and several villages had to be evacuated. as high as a bank, signed by strong winds, and authorities have opened an investigation into possible negligence for one of the deadliest places. the officials in the democratic republic of congo save the death toll from flooding is double to more than $400.00 thousands of reported miss single so often to wrench will reigns bass itself, tv presents of the amounts of east africa have also been devastated by heavy rain full, a representatives of saddam's rival sections are missing to seize fund negotiations in the saudi city of jetta. international mediation is hoping to secure

a last in peace even as fighting continues in saddam's capital up to the conflict between the sudanese army and the rival rapid support forces. power military is now entering its full week and a little over 4 years ago. the streets of saddam looked very different to how they look now instead of warring factions, millions were on the streets, calling for freedom for peace, justice and revolution. and they eventually did manage to over throw a dictator. but now sued in these activists are accusing the international community the play a role and the current conflict. chaos in consume 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 have done douglas or amended the leader of the power military rapids support forces. these men now lead the 2 sides and the conflict hopes for democracy was set back in 2021. when committee in the honda posed the civilian government, but the differences for the power of sharing, the hardening. meanwhile, from the us, the military was this trained back on its tracks and does what's necessary. i think the support that has been very strong for me and it asked me to resume the 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 followed on both sides why involved in the political process to go the extra myer, to west shreds, drums, restoration of city enrolled in the country. now you've, it's 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. the just mean of delma g to is a student is reisa underwood winning social advocate. now, based in london, she joined me here and this to you earlier. and i also what it's been like to watch this crisis unfolding from a fall thing. it's been 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 sitting these 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 early for years late 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 generals 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 or means natural 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, a known quantity extend 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 other 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 risk 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 as a, at the table with the international community. no, i might 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 a society in a global system where the money is coming from somewhere where the support is. and the legitimacy is coming from somewhere, and if we can talk it, the 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 mug sydney's right to an act this thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. thank. this is a reminder of our top story today. ukraine has issued an ad right of last across the entire country, opposite russia and carried down expensive nighttime drone and ms fall strikes. you probably need an official say at least 5 people into the night and strikes on tv and in odessa, food warehouse has reduced without your up to date use agent with ben. so susan is up next with the look ahead to next weekend selections. in thailand. the brain update.
