missing his guilt means for my audi c, e o, ballpark stop lock. could now avoid prison time and look who's coming to dinner. it looks like a court quite a crowd to watch on chairs this nigerian chest cooks up the store for 100 hours without stopping the menu chips. the cannon welcome to the program. russia has launched overnight as strikes on keep the pregnant 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. the prince chief military commander said, will, russian miss files were destroyed and keeps space, but they brief fell across several districts in the capital, causing

a flat and one non residential building. russia has mounted a flurry of strikes on ukraine in recent days. corresponding to connelly is in cave and he told me about his experience of the latest air attacks the so i woke up at about 3 am local time to some extraordinary loud findings seems a lot closer than usual and it was very compact. basically it was all over within about 10 to 15 minutes, whereas normally these things go on for hours and every time you kind of full to sleep your work. and again, by another bank, it really seemed like these targets. what really over the center of, to you know, anywhere outside of the city, those reports, even of every fully own key of 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 extraordinary bright. and you just could see people taking social media colleagues asking how other people were doing. and it seemed like we see anyone in cuba, on all sides of the city of several, many people. we're hearing something similar. and we're hearing that the russian

defense ministry is claiming to have destroyed the us built patriots and just had system in key. what do we know about the damage caused by these lights? us to tax 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 know how the targets entity 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 rest of the plane 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 rockets. so maybe that's what they destroyed from the found the confirmation from the ukraine inside. and i think it would be pretty unusual and pretty new quality 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 the list of this name for you? frames planned counter offensive. i think this is obviously an attempt to try and attract logistics in the kind of hinterlands of ukraine to prevent ukraine getting its resources together. and i think it's also sort of desperation, given how bad the rushes 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 accepted 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 as what next, thanks so much for that. let's see w as nick connelly reporting from keith. and meanwhile,

ukraine's military says it is making progress in the baffles of the eastern town as best moved, fighting has been raging in the town for months now. ukrainian forces say they all pushing russian troops back on the northern and the southern outskirts, but it inside buff note cranes foothold keeps getting slimmer, ukrainian troops paying a high price for the efforts to liberate the flashpoint city of buck moved the stones. it 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 acknowledged ukraine's attempts to capture territories around buck moved but denied. they had been successful this year to the north and south of the enemy

made major attempts to break through. our troops, defends was repelled all attacks by units of ukraine's armed forces. with no break, there was no defense as a crown of i don't have a ticket was broken, 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 other cities. he says, keeping up his defense is buying time rates, military to capacitor, a major counter offensive to retake, brush unoccupied territory at the forefront of russia's bust. me defensive is the private valve nami. it suffered may jealousies, and its leader. you have gave me pretty gordon has persistently accused most go of failing to properly supply his army with munitions. now a new scandal is brewing. on monday,

the washington post came back back in january for the goals and offered to betray rushing from positions to ukrainian intelligence in return for ukraine, calling back its troops in buck moved the post side to the us intelligence leak. and i did that pretty goals and sofa had been rebuffed by ukraine, which did not trust him while pray goes and have dismissed the allegations, as none since he denies talking to any ukrainian intelligence officials and kremlin spokesman dmitri pet schools has a so called the reports 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. let's take a look and now look now at some of the of the story is making news around the world . south african president,

several around the pose says of russia and ukraine have agreed to receive a peace mission made off of 6 african nations. the announcement comes also, the us accused south africa of supplying weapons to moscow. i suppose that insists on his country's neutrality and has denied favor in russia in the war. and it's free to you and relieve coordinates of somebody in the office, at least 400 people that were killed by cycling mocha, which has on sunday. you said the cycling struck the poor as parts of the country already affected by domestic conflict, an economic hardship. most of those killed will estimate were hidden jay, he said at least 6 people have died in a fight at a hospital in the new zealand caps for wellington dozens more. also missing the hospital was reportedly housing temporary and long term residents, including elderly people. the cause of the flat is not yet known as a german court has handed prison sentences to 5 men of the funding,

the guilty of breaking into the greenville u. z. and in the city of president and november 2019 and stealing some 4300 diamonds and all the gems, i'll used up more than a 100000000 euros. the precious stones were parts of a collection of jewelry facing as far back as the 17th century. i'm staying and may be full mess. c e o of called may to audi has addressed with guilt. his pulse and the diesel gate scandal. but rocks parent company, vw will put stop last said that he allowed vehicles equipped with manipulating software to remain on the market even off the he learned at the scam. until now he had always denied any wrong doing. it was the biggest scandal in germany's automotive history. diesel gate in 2015 and folks bogged and it's brands including audi, revealed that millions of tests on diesel car emissions had been manipulated. technicians

reeked engines through software to make them appear less polluting during tests that they were on the road. now for my audi 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, present sentence of up to 2 years. out d 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 . to find out more, i'm joined now by laws hired 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, that folks are conceited 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 fault. 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 was 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 did 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 guilt and essentially avoid gel 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 or $7000000.00 per year over the course of many years, the 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. i. it's now a nigerian shift assess
