the the business dw news line from billy russell owens, as must have asked rights on keith. ukrainian capital comes under a tax that officials called exceptionally intense and complex. how bad is the damage? we live in key also coming off. the use of the test penalty is rising fast. no report says nearly $900.00 executions were carried out last year is the highest level in 5 years. why us states now,

surely more people thus far sweets through the top floor of a hostile in new zealand, killing at least 6 being treated as suspicion on sequels and sequins of the come film festival. a 2 year old harris and 4 provides to see for the final indiana jones film will bring the stop to southern frauds and the sequence of courtesy of the french historical drama featuring don't need to be have a free. the good health is welcome to the program. russian has launched open eyed strikes on key sides. ukrainian officials are describing as exceptionally intense. the head of keeps military administration says rough to use drones, cruise missiles,

and probably also ballistic massages india tax defense chief commodities that old russian besides, were destroyed in keeps space. russia has mounted a flurry of air strikes on ukraine in recent days. for more, let's bring into the corresponding economy in the economy and capital. uh, nick, it was another difficult night in keys. how did you experience it? i woke up with a stall in about 3 in the morning local time and it was extraordinary loud for about 1015 minutes. this a little more compact, the normal way you have that explosion and then a little dense. and then people kind of get back to sleep and then get woken up again. this was all in a very short space of time. they really felt like they were floodlights outside my window even though the curtains were closed. it was basically bright from all those explosions. all those empty michelle systems working at the similar time it sounded like gloss was breaking around me. that was basically bits of debrief,

holding to the ground and that the windows were shaking. so this was definitely very, very intense. and i think the most important development here is that this old was coordinated to me from the russian side to will happen within a very short space of time at the authorities hearing keeps saying that this was the most intense attack on the capital since the beginning of the war a rec, sleep note, assuming a damage to human life. yes. some cause damage by bits of debris. some local fires, but no significant damage. bike is population. so that definitely is somebody is very cheering for the people in charge of that defense system here. yeah, and these people are saying they salt all these miss odds down. what role of the west of the defense systems a playing in? so i think that crucial, especially when it comes to dealing with ballistic targets, up till pretty recently, ukraine has nothing to intercept russia's ballistic missiles with, especially those hype so many controls that has now changed. we've had confirmed reports of age types on it control me. so shut down by the patriot american patriot

missile system just a few weeks ago and assuming you that happened again last night, also some new deliveries coming in recent days from from so initially some of the estimate helps to deal with ballistic targets. so it really seems like ukraine is already, at least for the key of and kind of high profile target, select the capital in a position to deal with these russian attacks. and we had present zalinski even worse than european capitals recently, asking for more and getting promises and commitments to more deliveries. there's a real sense. the rush is throwing everything it has at ukraine, and it's just not working, especially for, you know, these targets bit further away from the front lines. and you get a sense of kind of increasing desperation that even think they've changed all of the one kind of big, new bit of kit that russia has. that was the hope that we'd get past all the western supplied equipment that just isn't working on the country. it's russia, that's wonderful. well, these erupt ukrainian drugs and recent days getting past versus a defensive. so i think there's increasing desperation on the russian side, especially since things aren't going by with them on the back. filled it up because

nick connelly in keith. thank you very much. i to mean, while ukraine's military says it's making progress in the battle for the east and town of box mode fighting has been raging in that town for months. ukrainian forces say that now pushing russian troops back on the northern and southern outskirts bought inside baltimore to prince foothold keeps getting slimmer, ukrainian troops paying a high price for the efforts to liberate the flashpoint city of buck moved the sold. it took a direct hit from the most to show. he says he's helm, it saves his life. on monday, the troops top commander said they've made that 1st significant advances. despite having fewer resources and personnel, the net enemies, rushes defense ministry, acknowledged ukraine's attempts to capture territories around buck moved,

but denied they had been successful. this year to the north and south and the enemy made major attempts to break through. our troops defends was repelled all attacks by units of ukraine's armed forces. no break, there was no defense has occurred. oh, i don't have a ticket worth the buck me, which is the scene of the long distance. the assist fighting of the will controlling it is strategic for both sides. must go seize best mode as a stepping stone to attack in all the cities. he says, keeping up his defense is buying time for me. at 32 could pass for a major counter offensive to retake russian occupied territory at the forefront of russia's bust. me defensive is the private bod. nami itself. the major law says, and it's lead to you have guinea putting horton has persistently accused most go of failing to properly supply his army with munitions. now

a new scandal is willing on monday, the washington post came back back in january for the goals and offered to betray rushing sweep positions to ukrainian intelligence in return for ukraine. calling back its troops in buck moved the post side to the us intelligence league, and added that pre rolls and sofa had been rebuffed by ukraine, which did not trust him. the more pray goes and has dismissed the allegations as nonsense. he denies talking to any ukrainian intelligence officials and kremlin spokesman dmitri pet schools has a so called the report, a hoax. activity. the inside thing on the russian side is intense bots. whatever the trees, it seems, neither russia nor ukraine, kind of for to concede bus moved. and so the police will fight for the city continues. time enough for me or on this is dr. marine, i'm, you're wrong. she's

a military analyst and a research fellow at the defense studies department can use college loan to dr. marie, what do you make of the situation in buttonwood right now in the morning? well, the situation is very difficult, despite the fact that the ukrainian troops have made some advances in the past days, as we have heard, which was a big surprise we have seen, you've got any precautions coming out and complaining again and criticizing the russian airborne forces and saying that the only wagner is responsible for any advances inbox moved and, and as of this morning, there are reports that wagner has surround the so called math and is going forward and is trying to take the last fits yesterday. wagner, chief claim that they moved 150 meters closer to that ukrainian forces. however, the situation remains difficult. it is unclear which side is going to gain the

upper hand. now the city clearly is in ruins while the 2 sides both so determined to hold onto it while the military logics. um and also kind of the political logic behind holding onto booking with both of ukrainian armed forces. militarily, it's a russian state they, they've been trying to take the ford for 11 months now in order to, to use it as a launch bag to move further to slow down skin from a tourist. and also to complicates the logistics for the ukranian armed forces to prevent the supply of troops as well as to collapse. so ukrainian depends wants and also the city has become symbolic, both for bradshaw and for ukraine for president the landscape. because the spies a lot of kind of criticism and questioning, he decided we have the troops in baltimore not to withdraw them in order to show

that this was, was the influx of the aid from western countries and the lack of progress from the ukrainian side. and then recent months that the ukrainian armed forces still have the capability. so it is sort of symbolic for ukraine to show that they have the capability to hold on. and then perhaps to move to a counter offensive. now, is we hi, there are reports of mr. precaution to investigate the head of the, the wagner, a group, allegedly offering to be try russian troop positions to ukrainian intelligence. how will this lead play out within the russian military briefly, if you can or well, i'm not sure. and what's up regarding is indeed meaning to betrays the russian side, despite his dissatisfaction and despise the rest existing between precaution. um, specifically, um the ministry of defense progression is still close to put in and t is close to the g r u. so it is more maybe of

a hoax than real kind of threats to betray russian positions. because we have seen a lot of controversial statements coming from precaution, such as his truck to withdrawal from boston. moved and then he decided to stay after all. so i don't think we should be taking the seriously is that being said, the morales, russian is certainly being attracted with new deliveries to ukrainian side and just general words auction and the fact that the russians, especially the newly mobilized, don't know when this is going to and so from that perspective, it is still difficult for the russians and poses a, a more all the defense on. let's talk to them or, you know, you're on college london. thank you very much. thank you. that's the hope not. some of the other stories making headlines today developed originally the alexander lucas shank of the has appeared in public for the 1st time and need a week. it follows days of speculation over his health state television show the 68

we ample opportunity to have. ready this and coming days will be a number of investigations including the police, the car on it, and so on. fires like this, a red and weddington, it's being cooled once in a decade. event the use of the desk penalty is exploding around the well, the number of people executed in 2022 spikes to its highest level in 5 years. that's according to the students and national groups. annual reports on the use of capital punishment found china continues to execute thousands of its citizens every year though. authorities don't disclose official data. the 2nd was defended was iran authorities that executed $576.00 people up more than 80 percent on the previous year. saudi arabia came inside with $196.00 executions

at 200 percent rise. amnesty also note that a significant increase in the number of death sentences carried out for drug related crimes. and that's a violation of international human rights, low spot that on this, the also price some progress away from the death penalty with these $6.00 countries 40 or partially abolishing capital punishment. and we're going to zoom in on the situation in saudi arabia. now with this, do i do i the haney, she works for the european saudi organization for human rights. thank you very much for joining us here. now i'm, i'm just, he mentioned in his report that 81 people were executed in saudi arabia in a single day. last year, can you tell us more about this, this mosse execution? this is actually thank you for letting me. yes. as you mentioned,

and the 20th wanted to restart the execute of 81 different people in the same data and that's execution. most of the stuff people have been executed, their cases have been not might lighted by the organization that you might have organization. but at least the, we have 2 cases that we wanted to add this large are and that united the making united nation you can use. and i cover their cases and assure that there was a sink. but it's a good charges and that, that they did not get it for you. and they said that we didn't want it to end. this mass execution action is reflect uh the, the over on cases of executions. we noticed that that is not how they did not get it fixed. so in that there is lack of transparency. and this is a very well noticed when you know that there is that we did not continue or with enough money to any of the cases. no one, at least most of the faces of the people are more than execute the now the, the,

the overall number of executions inside the already a has tripled according to amnesty. why such an increase now? to reconcile, reconcile, he does indeed, um uh, since thinks of mine. his info it says 2015 and we had a good one more than 1000 excuse. and this reflects actually, um the who left it what was happening in, sorry, so the and the human rights side, the winter as an excuse and 7 years is a big number especially though it is that the case at the, from the previous uh, gabe weed. that we cannot assure that this is the reflecting the of the triangle and the so none of the confidence and the king to put their folder and in the ground and the show that they handle the poet. and to actually what we think that

using disability is a way to to show um and that's so it is a, it is what's the code of the king at the end of the conference is what the reflecting and dig around to make people she makes the pressing that opinion at the 1st place because we noticed that many of this executions the weird on particular charges with that. and the ad demonstration charges many of you that at least 12 of the big suggestions um with on miners. so this reflects um, well anything on there have been in keesing this way. for example, since the beginning of this year, i just want to mention that from the beginning of 2023. we want it to 29 executions. can i ask you what's being done? to pressure the saudi government that is dead. is it enough that's being done by

the international community? i actually we after the killing of the cookies and it's done good. we noticed that there had been a pressure and the international community was cutting off with this or the dean, but this had to change very much. recently ended in the past 2, the years. we got the, the, the old, the international, the government, the government, a visiting store, there to be a human rights is not a priority. talking about discipline. the cases is not as much as it should be. um, even asking for the area to commit to all of its commitments. also, mcknight in the international and know that it's not that it's not doing. they are not doing that. so we think that the pressure is not, you know, and this is really affecting directly number of secure since for example, just to mention this. so there will be

a promise already on the human rights commission, though, for sure you may as commission promised to stop execution this and that you under offenses. and, and in a short statement, but just in the, in 2022 on november 20 to 22. they are sent back to, to executing for people for the offices. so this shows very clearly that even the data on promises is not the, the thing that on promises, the international community is not doing anything with this. the human rights research to do it highly. thank you very much. thank you. its turkey is headed for a run of presidential election with the incumbent, red chip, type adam on still the man to beats. neither he nor his talons. okay. i'll kill each. dodo may manage to take 50 percent off the vote. spots according to election monitors out of one is combining on the playing field, tilted in his favor or see
