the the, this is the, the news live from ballot. russia launches must have fast strikes on keys. the ukrainian capsule comes under attacks that officials call exceptionally intense and complex. also coming off the use of the death penalty is rising for a new revolt counts nearly $900.00 executions that were carried out last year. and that's just the confirm number. why us states keep killing less

fuss? fire sweets through the top floor of a hospital in new zealand can at least 6. it's been treated as suspicious buff cycles and 6 when they come film fest a 2 year old harris, a 4 provides the sequel to 5 of indiana jones. film will bring this down to southern front and the sequins a courtesy of a french historical drama featuring show you that. and we'll have the good health as well come to the program. russia has launched, open eyed as strikes on key so that ukrainian officials are describing us exceptionally intense to the head of peace. military administration says russia

used drones, cruise myself, and probably also ballistic myself in the attacks. ukraine's chief commander said o rushman projectiles were destroyed in keys space. russia has mounted the flurry of strikes on ukraine in recent days. oh, correspondent nicole is in keith and he told me how he experienced the latest air attacks last night. i woke up with a start about 3 in the morning local time and it was extraordinary loud for about 1015 minutes, the slope more compact, the normal way you have 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 antique. and we saw 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 here. and keeps saying that this was the most intense attract on the capital. since the beginning of the war, a rec, sleep note seeming a damage to human life. yes. some cause damaged 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 are the west of the different systems a playing? yeah. i think that crucial, especially when it comes to dealing with ballistic targets, up till pretty recently, ukraine has nothing to intercept russia's boosting themselves with, especially those hype so many controls, that is no change. we've had confirmed reports of age types on it control me. so shut down by the patriot, the american patriot missile system, just

a few weeks ago in assuming you that happened again last night. well, so some new deliveries coming in recent days from, from us initially, some of the, a system that helps to deal with ballistic targets. so it really seems like your credit 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 the landscape invoice in europe in capitals recently asking for more and getting promises and commitments to move. deliveries is really since the rush is throwing everything it has as you frame 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 things like that change all the one kind of big, new bit of kit that russia has. that was the hope that we get past all the western supplied equipment that just isn't working on the country. it's russia that's fundable. will these erupt ukrainian drugs and recent days getting past versus the defensive? so i think there's increasing desperation on the russian side, especially since things aren't going by with them on the back fill it up, just make connelly in keys. thank you very much. meanwhile,

you kinds of military says it's making progress in the battle for the eastern town of buckboard fighting has been raging in that town for months. ukrainian forces say that now pushing russian troops back on the northern and southern outskirts, bob inside the box moves you, france. foot holes keeps getting slimmer, ukrainian troops paying a high price for the efforts to liberate the flash point. city of buck moved. the soldier took a direct hit from a move to show, he says he's helm, it saves his life. on monday, the troops top commander said they made the 1st significant advances, despite having fewer resources and personnel than the enemies rushes, defense ministry acknowledge 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 defensive. we repelled all attacks by units of ukraine's armed forces with no break. there was no defense as a car. oh, i don't have a ticket. what's the motion? spoken, which is the scene of the long distance. the sighting of the will controlling it is strategic for both sides. moscow sees best mode as a stepping stone to attacking all the cities. he says, keeping up his defense is buying time for it's been at $32.00 capacity for a major town to offensive to retake russian occupied territory at the full front of russia's balcony. defensive is the private bog, naomi. it's stuff the major losses and it's lead to you have guinea pig gordon has persistently accused most go of failing to properly supply his army with a munition. now a new scandal is brewing. on monday,

the washington post came back back in january, for the ocean, offered to betray rushing through positions to ukrainian intelligence in return for ukraine. pulling back its troops in document the post side to the us intelligence league, and added that pretty golden sofa had been rebuffed by ukraine, which did not trust him. while pray goes and has dismissed the allegations, as soon as 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, bought to whatever the trees, it seems, neither russia nor ukraine kind of for to concede bus moved. and so the brutal fight for the city continues a dr. marie number on this a defense. i'm listened to a research fellow as kings call this london,

and she gave him her assessment off the current situation environment. while the situation is very difficult, despite the fact that the ukranian 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 only wagner is responsible for any advances inbox moved and, and as of this morning there are reports that partner has surrounded a so called nast, and is going forward and is trying to take the last fits yesterday. wagner is chief, cleaned up, but they moved 150 meters closer to the ukranian forces. however, as 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 as

well as the military logics. and also kind of the political logic behind holding onto buckling with jose ukrainian armed forces. militarily, it's a russian state. they, they've been trying to take but more towards 11 months now, in order to use it as a launch bag to move um, further it to slow down to confirm a tourist. and also to complicates the logistics for the ukranian armed forces to prevent supply of troops as well as to collapse. so ukrainian depends wants and also the city has become some ball expose for bratia and for ukraine for president polanski. because despite the lot of kind of criticism and questioning, he decided waves of troops in baltimore, not to withdraw us him in order to show that this was, was this influx of the aid from western countries and the lack of progress from the ukrainian side in recent months that the ukrainian armed forces still have that

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 a, the rock in a, 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 who's there. so this faction and despise the rest existing between precaution specifically and 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 of russian troops is certainly being attracted with new deliveries to ukrainian side and just general word sashon 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. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the television lead out examiner lucas and cove has appeared in public for the 1st time and nearly a week. it follows days of speculation over his health state television show the 68 year old inspecting an air force base. lucas echo has been impact finale for 2

a decade event we have some breaking news coming in the former ceo of our d. the com. a roof which stop loves us plead guilty to diesel gate fraud charges such as far the munich started. let's know the highest ranking form executive of the car company to make a confession in the emissions cheating scramble. that's vaux the time company folks thought his lawyer told the quote that off the learning of the scam in 2015 stop letting neglected to inform business upon the confession as part of a play deal that we'll see stuff la, avoid jail time or even more breaking news here in germany have another trial this time, and one of the most spectacular jewel heisen german history has just ended with the conviction of 5 of the 6 accused that were found guilty of involvement in a break in at the green volt in the city of dresden, in november 2090 and they stole the treasure of around $4300.00 diamond and other

gems valued at more than 100000000 euros. the precious stones with part of jewelry dating as far back as the 17th century. during the trial, some of the issues cooperated with the prosecution, leading to the recovery of allots passed off the loot. and following that story for us is our correspondent emily guardian, who joins us now. emily, tell us more about the verdicts that have just been announced. yeah, so we're looking at, i'm sentences of up to 6 years and 3 months in prison and i went and it's not about this magic is not, it was controversial simply because of the deal that will start in the, in this video. basically, some of the accused i'm agreeing to tell the prosecution where some of the starting gets warmer during the time they were given. um, well they both have promised mild sentences. um,

but what do you also have to look at in this trial? is that this try this, this to the break in a 3 and a half years ago, right. and the accused now on that mid to late twenty's that what at the time of the break and, um, they were quite young. and so what have faced or on time 3 face um and what, what trials on the user was. so we've got this assumption. so some people have different ages, but also depending on that role from and that was one person, one of a 6 accused who has actually been an excuse for me and does not face any any, don't face the symptoms. because he had an alibi for the night, and that's why he doesn't, he's not involved in this sentence. now a large number of those jams quite miraculously been recovered. how was that possible of whether or not sold on or no? well, so, so what happened is, so in total, the set to have started about $21.00 pieces of tutoring. i had, some of them were recovered of positive deal about pictures made with the

prosecution. but there are still some left that i'm missing. right. and one of them is actually the, the dress them want diamond, which was a 50 card diamond pulse of the prosecution probably sinks or, you know, we, we, you want to think about, because it's not fair any longer. it's probably even sold on in the whereabouts. i'll just, i'm not. and i'm, but also when it comes to the patients that were actually over time, some of them were actually damaged on the conditions. so while we'd have them returned, um, you know, it will take smiles for them to actually be back where they belong because they will means some reparations. now, the museum interest them from which these treasure treasures was stolen, most we've got, it is very secure. how was this rober easy plus well actually what's one of the big criticisms in this whole trial? the fact that the museum apparently wasn't secure enough. so it's a bit like um,

imagine the emotional possible film, right? so this evening we'll set up in a way that there was sort of, lays the cousins inside the walls of them using but there was one possible in your viewing whether your places didn't work or weren't applied. i'm not sure exactly where a window was situated, and that's where the thing is liable to get into a museum. so within this trial, that's what the funds have been saying. it is the responsibility if it needs them to make the new them safe because it is obviously responsible for the goods such as houses. um, so big questions and during this trial about the safety of the goods and this museum. questions about the museum of the says have been addressed, and i'm sure this will be a lesson and also for the seats, for all the museums. emily guarding the thank you very much for this update that really i have some sports news for you now. and the southeast asian games and come body and the women stuck a final vietnam have defeated me
