i mind, you can make it and welcome to the program. russia has launched overnight as strikes on, keep that ukrainian officials are describing as exceptionally intense the head of keeps military administration says russia use drones, cruise missiles and probably also ballistic missiles in the attacks. ukraine's chief military commander said, oh, rough miss solve what destroyed and keeps asked space. debris fell across several districts in the capital, causing a fire in one no one residential building. russia has mounted a flurry of strikes on you train in recent days. from when we can bring in dw, corresponding knit connelly, who's in the ukrainian capital, nick, it was another difficult night clearly. and keith, tell us more about that. so i woke up at about 3 am local time to some extraordinary, loud bangs seemed a lot closer than usual and it was very compact. basically it was all over with it

about 10 to 15 minutes where it's normally these things go on for hours and every time you kind of full to sleep, your work. and again, by another bang, it really seemed like these targets. what really over the center of, to you know, anywhere outside of the city, there was a report even of debrief holding on kid zoo. it's not very far away from where we are here. sometimes it even felt like they were floodlights outside, even when to cut and so close. it was extraordinarily bright. and you just could see people taking social media colleagues asking how other people were doing. and it seems like basically anyone in cuba, on all sides of the city of several, many people were hearing something similar. and we're hearing that the russian defense ministry is claiming to have destroyed the us bill, patriots and just had system in keep what we know about the damage caused by these lights. has to fax as well, so far there's been no response from the government here in ukraine and i think it's not unusual, not unexpected, to have these kind of claims coming out of moscow, especially since it seems like you're out of a target some 50 would not hit,

they have to claim some kind of success, and we've certainly had lots of misleading things out of most go since the school began in terms of the rook at all to their systems high mazda have been sent by the us over the past year or so, it actually turns out that the russians of claim to destroyed more than actually ever arrived here in ukraine, and is also true that ukraine uses extensive. it makes extensive use of dummy blow up a weapon systems as kind of targets to lower in those russian rocket. so maybe that's what they destroyed from the found the confirmation from the ukraine inside. and i think would be pretty unusual. i'm pretty much a new policy if they really manage to hit such a high value target, so early on in it. so service in ukraine, and as we just heard, you know, there's been a flurry of as strikes on ukraine in recent days. what is it? what does this mean for ukraine's planned counter offensive? i think this is obviously an attempt to try and attract logistics in the kind of hinterland of ukraine to prevent ukraine getting its results as together. and i

think it's also sort of desperation, given how bad the verses doing on the front lines. trying to throw basically everything. it has these big targets, the big cities of ukraine. hundreds clumps away from the front lines. but we've seen the even ballistic missiles, the most difficult to intercept, are now being routinely intercepted by ukraine. thanks to those western western system. there is a kind of element of desperation, russell, trying to throw everything it has in a very short space of time in the hope of overwhelming ukraine's air defenses. but so far it hasn't worked next. thank so much for that. let's see w. net connelly reporting from keith. meanwhile, ukraine's military says it is making progress in the baffles of the eastern town as best moved facing has been raging in the town. some now ukrainian forces say that pushing russian troops back on the northern and the southern outskirts. but inside the moot ukraine's foothold keeps getting slimmer, ukrainian troops off paying a high price for the efforts to liberate the flash point. the city of buck moved

the sold. it took a direct hit from him more to show. he says he's helm, it saves his life. on monday, the truth to top commander said they've made that 1st significant advances. despite having fewer resources and personnel than the 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 us up with the father. we 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. what's the balcony? 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 attacking all the cities. he says,

keeping up its defense is buying time, which military capacity are a major town to offensive to retake, brush unoccupied territory at the full front of russia's balcony. defensive is the private vog, naomi. it's stuff a major law says, 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. as on monday, the washington post came back back in january for the goals and offered to betray rushing through positions to ukrainian intelligence in return for ukraine. calling back its troops in buck moved the post site to the us intelligence league. and i did that pretty version sofa, had been rebuffed by ukraine, which the notes trust him. the more pray goes and have 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 spots. 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 like a. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today. and reports by amnesty international shows a dramatic increase in the use of the death penalty world wide. the number of known estate executions rose by 53 percent last year to almost 900. i'm the see says the increase was due to the post pandemic resumption of trials. authoritarian crackdowns on protesters and capital punishment for drug offenses. at least 4 feet. one people have been killed and then ma site clone hit wrecking state. local

leaders say over a 100 people are still missing off the one of the worst flight plans to hit the region bass of the coast of the in law and bangladesh. a activist and co chair who have protested against plans to release treated. but still radioactive was from the focus, she met nuclear power plant into the c. the plan by the power company tapco is facing fis, resistance from the local fishing communities, a mass of the quake, and subsequent nami, in 2011 damage the focus, shame, a plant closing, it's cooling water, to become radioactive. now it was one of the most spectacular jewel highs in german history. and our court has come to prison sentences to 5 man accused of breaking into the green volts in the city of dresden in november 2019 and stealing some 4300 diamonds and of the gems

valued at more than 100000000 years. the precious stones were parts of a collection of jewelry de thing as far back as the 17th century. and the following. this fantastic story for us is the w correspondent, emily go dean. emily, tell us more about this or day. she was highest on the buttocks that have now been announced. i just saw mean 6 men were on trial for the robbery. 5 of them has now been sentenced to use to, to about to up to 6 d as in 3 months in prison. one of the accused was cleanable challenges. he had an hour or more for the night. but what you need to know is that all of these, um, all of them unexcused all parts of the remo family, which is considered an a tori of, um, organized crime guy in berlin. um, but was also important to know to your response. um, you know, the menu who,

who stand accused or who was sentenced um of so for that robbery now um they will quite know. i mean, they were in the mid to late twenties now at the time of the time of the break and 3 and a half years ago. and you know, some of them were over on the 18th. so that's also, that also explains why the sentences, i'm very so some of the, some of them were child on use rules. and that's why i think one of the money got for the youth. i'm a full month's. but what's also important to note here is that they were not child just for the roster, right, but also for awesome because they set fire to and electricity box as well as so the call that they used to gets away from the scene of the crime. the call was in an underground call park, and it being set on fire could have been a real home to it's of people's lives. a large number of the gems have apparently been recovered. tell us how, how that was even possible. yes. so the defense actually struck

a deal with prosecution. um the 4 of the accused actually agreed to tell the prosecution with some of the goods hidden. and in return um they were promised mild of sentences. so that's how 18 of life of the, of the jewelry pieces, loc shooting recovered. the 3 of them are still missing. among them is the 15 cards . dressed on one diamond. i'm about to get to be found 6 back to the top floor and you've been sold on. and when you look at the 18 piece of orders that have been a ton, and some of them was damaged, that means that they will have to be repaired before they can actually go back to where they belong. and so the museum. okay, now the museum in dresden from where the jewels was stolen was seen as being very successful. so how did they even get away with, with this kind of rubbery well, that's really a big criticism in this trial as well because it's the defense is saying that the

defense said that the music was actually ethic, sure as it was supposed to be. so imagine a mission impossible, so i'm inside the world of this movie. you have almost like laser cousins, but there was one part of the museum about whether his lasers weren't that were broken as well. they just yeah, they just run that. and that's exactly also where i'm a window was located and this is the place where the bulb is managed to get into the museum. of course, they have been observing the museum for, for, for a time beforehand. but they also must have, have, you know, in find knowledge about the lack of security around that one window. so i'm, and the defense is obviously saying not to notice the responsibility of the museum who chose the house, is these important and valuable to fact some of the pieces of jewelry. it is their responsibility to also make sure that they all safe. so that was

a big point of criticism. i'm the museum says it's house and made the well it's the museum has defended itself. um, but i think it's definitely a lot of the lesson here. mm hm. the big security breakdown that they don't use. emily voting thanks so much. meanwhile, in another trial here in germany, a former c e o of comic i audi has admitted guilt that his pos and the diesel gate scanned the rocked parent company. b. w will put stop loss said that he allowed vehicles equipped with manipulating software to remain on the market. even off that he learned of the scab. until now he had always denied wrong doing. it was the biggest scandal in germany's automotive history, diesel gate in 2015. the folks bogged and it's brands, including audi, revealed that millions of tests on diesel color emissions had been manipulated. technicians reached engines through software to make them appear less polluting

during tests that they were on the road. now for my out, the c e o who put stop law has made a confession about his role in the scandal. the top executive has been on trial and munich since 2020 on charges of fraud and false advertising. he'll now pay a fine of 1100000 euros in exchange for us suspended prison sentence of up to 2 years. out e and polish a manager involve gun hops, pleaded guilty last month. according to his confession, he planned the actual installation of the legal software to rick emissions readings . and find out more, i'm doing now by laws higher to from dw business laws and tell us what exactly we'll put stoplight has pleaded guilty to well essentially that he knew what was going on, which is of course, the folks talking cheated on emissions test using software that's allowing cars on the street that should have not been on the street because they did not apply to

regulations when it comes to admissions. now that of course, uh does not mean he was the main man at faults. here he is not the guy behind diesel. gate, but he is a top manager, c o, one of the brands and he knew what was going on. he didn't do anything about it. he 1st learned off the tricks here that the folks on his playing in july of 2016. and he's still allowed cars under the audi brand on his leadership to be sold until 2018. so this year and a half later. and of course, that led to many, many cars to be on the road, higher emissions, but it also led to folks. so i mean, the end, if you think about the numbers here to almost go bankrupt because folks are going to have to pay a fine of a 1000000000 euros. and audi had to pay another fine of 800000000 euros. so there was a lot of money at play and he admitted that he didn't know about it and didn't do anything. now he is set to get a suspended sentence. what message does it send to the top executive, you know,

can't admit guild and essentially avoid jail time. i think it's a terrible message that it sends it's, it's really weak. and if you look at the very rich people, top executives, i really think trail time is the only way to punish them that really impacts them. and if we look at that here, now there is no jail time and a fine of 1100000 yours. sounds like a lot to some people. but of course, if you made 7 millions as the oh, $7000000.00 per year, over the course of many years, he basic is now forced to pay a tiny fraction off his earnings. and that is a little bit like a catching, a bank robber, who just stole 10000000 and you ask him to return to s as punishment. what was the lawyer from that we would all become bank robbers because crime essentially pays, especially here. uh, economic crime. seriously. pays even if you get caught. all right, last how? testing, dw business, thanks so much to new zealand.

now, what a fire that broke out in a hospital in the capital city. wellington has killed at least 6 people, but that figure could rise firefighters. examine the button to help building easy lens. prime minister chris hipkins, has cooled the incident, an absolute tragedy firefighters bottles through the morning to put out the blaze and save the residence of this hospital in wellington survivors. and now starting to come to terms with the tragedy of the beauty of a smile, let come again stable. so just to the left for an overflow knocking on doors, then you're going out. this one's room and another tool might to might it out. but um, the way things are looking for other people knowing the by the fire broke house on the top floor of the building just off to midnight. the closest

still on 9 thirty's, the treating it a suspicious new zealand prime minister chris hipkins has promised to investigate the we ample opportunity to have a look at this and coming days will be a number of investigations including the police, the car on the uh and so on file is like this, a red and weddington, it's being cooled once in a decade event. now this year could be more dangerous than ever. so people trying to climb mount everest bottlenecks are expected on route to the summit. officials having issued a record number of permits, the 1st wave of intrepid truck has made it to the top of the world on the weekend and hundreds more. all set to follow. for a mountain, this being here is the 1st step towards achieving the dream. this is that the scan

of the majestic mount everest, i most have to spend weeks here, economic dicing to the height as the rough day at 10 there this year on the body. steve is 1st to make sense. bottom you've got the heating system window doesn't stay open very long enough, but only a week to 10 days. i think it might be a little challenging because there's so many people do that we will see who is able to climb within that timeframe. the bod has issues nearly 500 permits to following timeless a target keys. expect 900 people, including the share past. we've reached the summit of cost excited, but also not. there are 2 reasons. one is that the weather is challenging. another is that a high number of permits had been issued this year. many people have come to climb

everest coupling that was challenging whether there might be traffic jams, traffic 7, and on the was highest peak. those traffic jams can be deputy long lines on the native trees, get exposed climbers to frostbite and oxygen depletion and with the slope. so how did this here? this even more potential for tragedy are now going to take you to the french riviera now where the cannes film festival is kicking off today in the open field is getting an awful lot of attention fueled by scandals, both on the screen and in real life. john do by the features accent you'll need to who's court cases had once threatened to do the rail. his career, the hollywood styles come back is just one of the headlines from this. he is film

festival as johnny depp is back on top, playing francis king louis the 15th in the new film. john, do you bother you about a former prostitute who became the king's mistress, shift to the thought of what don't use you to send a picture on a quote come united this year. and that's a good thing. because of his american accent. dep only speaks a few lines in the whole movie, leaving more screen time for actress. my when she also wrote, produced and directed the film and she's got some scandals of her own. the star just admitted to assaulting a journalist and she's been criticized for funding the film with cash from saudi arabia. gossip and glamour going hand in hand here at the cannes film festival, along with plenty of star power. 80 year old harrison ford is premier in his

5th and final indiana jones film, the dial of destiny. this time he's battling ex nazis who infiltrated the us space program together with his god daughter played by phoebe waller bridge. sometimes i think the show more at home outside the or send the to director wes anderson is back in can with the asteroid city star studded comedic tragedy about astronomy geeks and their parents are still only 9 planets themselves. but as far as we know, billy, now there's an alias, also premiering and kind of a slew of films from africa and but now in other, my, by french senegalese director rahman had 2, i see 2 young barber's relationship disrupts their community. and now the comes from asia also look set to make an impact at con director one things 3 and
