billions to be made. our chief hutch document tree, deep sea greed starts june 8th on d. w. the . the state of the news line from berlin, germany order is the closure of for russian consulates. only the berlin embassy and one general consul. it will remain movies in response to russia's announcement that it will cap the number of german officials in its country. also on the program. are we experiencing the world's 1st real drone? we take a look at how this piece of paper is shaping the course of the conflict in ukraine

. plus rates across 10 german states target suspect, the supporters of the so called as long as the state police takes 7 people into custody. the nicole fairly, it's good to have you with us. germany says it will slash the number of rushes, diplomatic missions in the country. the german form industry has revoke the licenses of 4 out of 5 russian consulates. it says that it's up to russia to decide which of the consulates to close. moscow has criticized this as an unfriendly step aimed at the further destruction of bilateral ties. berlin's move is in response to the russian foreign ministry, limiting the number of german officials in russia to 350 or earlier the w. a political correspondence. i many young told me how these tensions began,

or why the call is, you know, in the context of rushes war in ukraine relations between the 2 countries have been worst thing for a while. i think it's fair to say, but the most recent thing is you mentioned that russia has a cat, the number of german states employees that they're allowing to operate in russia at to let me take that number to 350 people. so what's on usually about that, that is that to the data applies, not just a diplomatic style from the embassy stuff, and consider officials and so on. but also to some people with that more of a cultural focus, including teachers and stuff at the jim and schools in russia. and also people at the good to institutes, which is a sort of germany's institutes that promote interest in, in german language and culture. so that was

a relatively unusual move that happened just recently. and this is the gym and response, an attempt to sort of create some kind of parity, at least in the numbers of officials who will be working in. that's why they, they said that going to cut close called sealants in various places around around germany. what are the likely consequences of these tit for type moves? or yeah, well i think the main people to notice it are only people who need to use those called to con sealants, particularly uh, russian citizens, uh, in uh, in germany who need to get paperwork con, select. so of course, administrative uh, instructions and uh they provide, uh, you know, certificates of best marriages and desks and that kind of thing. so these are the sorts of links. perhaps you might say, in some ways,

the last remaining sort of links between civil societies in, in the 2 countries. and this is just going to make it harder north, impossible, of course, because the embassy in berlin. and we understand the consulate in bone will remain open when these other full consultants are closed. so either they'll be able to continue to operate. but i think something similar may happen for german citizens on gym and people, or anyone indeed, who needs concealer support in russia, it'll be a little bit more difficult to time. yeah, the russian foreign ministry has already announced that germany's decision will not go on, answered. we haven't quite heard the end of this escalation. have we as well, they know it's a, you know, it's, it's hard to say what exactly is the next step. gemini is sort of pre emptive to move by announcing what is inside that it is going to close. it's can see that it's

in the collecting grad you, catherine. but notice a bisk. so the tit for tat response want to have be able to take the full of closing, can see that. so i suppose the gym and say that they're going to keep both a diplomatic and a cultural presence in moscow. and so petersburg as best they can with the reduced numbers of stuff that they're allowed to have there. a thought. secondly, i think politicians, the criminal once again, the politicians here in building. but it's saying that they think that they've the governments of taking the right step. and so no one's backing down to noise or at least political correspondence. simon young. thank you so much. a drone attack on an oil refinery in southern and russia has ignited a fire at the facility security camera footage shows the flames, which reportedly broke out of the installation in the crescent, our region east of the crime in peninsula that is russia has accused ukraine of

being behind several drone attacks on russian territory and recent days, including on the capital loss scale, can you've, has denied being behind the attacks. but ukraine's army does have specialized around brigades, finding the russian troops on ukrainian territory. both sides and the conflict have deployed unmanned aerial vehicles with russia using a rainy and made drones to regularly bomb cities, including the capital t of our next report looks at how ukraine is using drones to outsmart russian forces. a safe distance from the hail that his bus moved valid and t ms. cradling the eyes of ukrainian army on his shoulder. this little drawing takes its name from the local word for stark. and it's no a much valued asset. ukrainian fighters engaged in trench warfare as it spies on their end to me from above the bill,

the people who knows that's their size, that a certain operation may depend on the work and efficiency of the u. a. v unit to communication. this work carries much responsibility to get to that to utilize. so those are the 2 of the recognizance drones, also known as your tvs, have picked up images like this. russian infantry throwing a blanket over there, hurts in box boot or russian trucks. how you doing in the forest to to but it saves lives either you go ahead lined and walk into a trap for you get guidance from the sky because this is not for the and then there are the attack drones jeep nimble. unpacked with explosives. they're capable of landing a deadly blow on unsuspecting combatants. select because of the eyes of the army. these are the fest for the drone, which you go to $300.00 and can be bought in any will be solved,

is capable of destroying or dying that the novice, our team has done many die on the settle below. if we have destroyed the enemy's bank swiftly, have you been pre equipment? unfortunate is onto some very effective gadgets to bully scott, but the, and there are no wonder that you created on the set to be investing heavily in such low cost kamikaze drones. and the teams needed to operate them. so just he claimed these weapons, unlike all those are in heavy as to rushes, jamming systems, me buzz from where we see a tank driving. we fit a, i'm a piercing explosive to this across in the let to fly. let me see infants today. we've put the drug with shrapnel explosives and we fly it with if it's a building wheel. so fitted with trump mil explosive and we fly inside the building . this may just be a demonstration today. on the fighters of the 35th marine would gauge to leave such

tools of modern warfare will prove decisive in the country offensive. samuel ben debt to say a john senior fellow with the center for a new american security. and i asked him if he thinks that what we're witnessing is the 1st ever real drone war we are actually, we're witnessing a significant optic enjoying activity in drawing manufacturing in the supplies of different types of drugs, the front and both sides, your brain and the russian military trying to learn the lessons from using both the military and the commercial type, drones like the ones that you just showed. so why use drones rather than conventional missiles to attack these, like eve or moscow? as we've seen in recent days, there cheat each of the drones that russia launches, again, ski of or the drones that recently struck moscow are actually much cheaper than the

missiles. in fact, many magnets is cheaper than the missile. for example, the russia built i rang and drone flying under the name get on can cost no more than $50000.00. a missile that can have a comparable reach can cost many hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars . and so these are cheap substitutes and certain goods for the missiles and they're used actively by both sides and both sides are developing these type of drones to be even more capable and more legal. how, how decisive are they going to prove in the war? it really depends how their use you pray has taken the lead in um there is utilization of both military and commercial federals. it, the ukrainian, the drugs can be quite effective russians. roles are becoming more effective as well. it really depends on the military and whether or not the military understands how to properly organize the drawing force and combine it with existing formations, especially for the ground forces where most of the fighting has actually taken

place. process as drones had moscow on tuesday. what do we know about the types of drones that allegedly attacked the capital as well? we know that there are at least 3 type of drones that struck moscow long as a classical aircraft time draw and possibly u. j. 22, which has recently been unveiled by the ukrainian military and other is a very interesting new design. a fairly large drone with a sofa push are designed with the propeller and motor in the back of the airframe. there are some commercial drones that exist in that configuration. this appears to be much larger military type project. and then there's a classical airframe that has been used extensively on both sides. it's a, a draw on that usually flies as an intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance tomorrow. but it's not exactly clear whether these are actual drones, the flu, and i think there's a lot of investigation going on right now to try and determine what exactly hits

moscow. and what do you think could have produced those drones that you just said might have been involved in those strikes? well, if they flew from the ukraine in the territory and had to overcome hundreds of kilometers of adversarial terrain, then it is likely that they were launched by the ukrainian military by the ukrainian special forces. if ever launched closer to moscow in order to evade moscow air defenses and electronic work, or, you know, we're trying to work their systems, they may have been launched from inside russia proper, in which case we may be talking about, for example, special forces contingent or perhaps this was the work of out some of the mc government and the, and the kremlin forces that have recently materialized. but it's not exactly clear . again, there is some great new video. a lot of these girls are actually shut down. what they do indicate a sophisticated attack and ad uh, basically showing miles ago that the cd that is supposed to be extremely well protected. is that in fact safe from the brain cancer attack?

are we going to see armies in the future? battling with unmanned aircraft system is much more than conventional missile technology is 100 percent. everyone is looking at the lessons of your grade and have multi brand new. and then the russian military is, are using military technologies as well as journey widespread use of commercial technologies as well. and so a lot of military's all are over a copy of the tactics and the concepts. and using such drugs, again, there's going to be an emphasis on cheaper mass use of these drones, in which case we could see thousands of loading munition type or what dr. type draws, utilized by the military's for conduct a intelligence or billions recognizance combat duties or even kamikaze strikes, samuel and that advisor with the cns. thank you so much for your time. thank you. the war and ukraine is having a profound impact on children caught up in the conflict while young people there

risen and it shows that authorities are very vigilant. that's just clear how important it is. you have to also take action against the financing networks investment especially looking a tire referral networks just so you have to get to the sources of what is funding them on the bed investment on invest the o finance here. this week and we can now take a closer look at this with kiddos dimer from the german institute for international and security affairs. welcome back. what can you tell us about today's operation? when it is an operation against the supporters devices supported devices in syria, and that has been uh, the, or a network has developed in recent years supporting isis members who have either been jailed in certain encouraged james or women who are based in refugee camps in the story and code is done, and in some cases that's at least what the government says. the money has been used

for in order to, to uh, to allow these women to flee from there to a living in northwest in syria. so this is a strike against isis supporters here in germany, what do we know about their presence? how many are there? where are they? uh, they are based in all over the country. and that's kind of kind of a new problem. and, and uh, in recent times, uh, they were mainly based in the big cities, but now we have support. i was all over all over the country. the problem for and the numbers on up known i would, uh, i would assume that we speak about several hundreds of persons and it has become extremely fashionable for them to send money. even small, small amounts of money. 50 rose, how a 100 zeros to people who collect donations, especially for the women in insert and cut that that's

a situation germany. what about the rest of, of the european union, where that's a, that's similar over that. the situation is especially if the women but the situation of the isis prisons in, in syria, is something like a rallying cry for you. how to support those all over europe. they have been looking for a cause of its ever since the territory. okay. okay. the site has been has disappeared in, in 2919. and now the big issue is the support for those who are jaded in syria and even any rock. so the support of devices tried to free women, and in some extreme cases, even try to free men, but by sending money to iraq, syria, and even to some other countries. what do we know about the quantities of, of a german isis fighters or european isis finders?

that are being held in prisons and cans and, and women and children of course as well. and those can, well, most of the women, all those women who wanted to come back to germany has been re patry. i took by the, by the foreign ministry. there are still some 10 to 15 persons left, but most of them didn't want to come back to germany. they are in syrian refugee camps, they remain there, and we speak about something like 30 man, that is a little bit contested of who is a german, 13 man among among 2004, and as for an ices fighters who still remain in custody in syria, and kurdish jail, but the government does not want them back to support for isis is, is still there is still simmering it has luckily been quite some time since we the seen a major ice is inspired or i suspect attacks here and your why do you think that is why we have seen some inspired attacks in 2020 and funds in germany and in some of

the, in some other places. i think that since 2017, this uh, the organization in syria and iraq is severely we can plus the security. oh, sorry to have the situation under control with the hub of the f b i n s a and to see i. uh that's uh, that's very important because we have had major plots in germany in recent years. but all of them could be swatted because the americans gave us prior information about communication going on. so the threat is still that, but this, the but the organization is a lot weaker than it was in 20171890. and the thread is manageable with a little help from our friends, apparently indeed his time back. thank you so much for coming back. and in other news facilities army has suspended its participation and cease fire talks with a parent military rapids support forces raising fairs of finding could flare up again. hopes of humanitarian aid reaching civilians have also been dashed, attends,
