the, the, this is the, the, you know, he's coming to live from berlin. russia says it has beat me back a major offensive by ukraine. moscow release has footage. it says shows russian forces repelling ukrainian attacks. and the don't yet screeching cliff has not yet commented on the claim. also coming up a position in the store or for

a terry and stage as russian police to group on supporters of kremlin credit collection of money. we made a young opposition. politicians on the ground who blocks the fine line between activism and a risk and much for stopping dominates formula one yet again, he wins the spanish ground pre extending his lead, the top of the standings that too much more coming up later in our sports. there's the little m terry martin. good to have you with us. russia. it claims it has stopped a major military offensive by ukrainian troops and the don't yet screech and mostly russian controlled area of eastern ukraine. russia's defense ministry says its forces killed 250 soldiers on sunday, the ministry released this drone video which could not the independently verified

it purports to show russian forces toward thing a large scale attacked by 2 tank battalions and other recognized units in southern areas of don't you ask ukraine individuals who have said they're ready for a major operation to push back, occupying forces have not commented on the russian claim to help us understand these reports. let's bring in for military intelligence. officer, frank language. frank, we have 2 different claims today. a russian says it's repelled a major ukrainian counter offensive. meanwhile, ukraine is saying that it's forces are moving forward, their bus load. what can you tell us about all this morning, terry is back concerning. first of all, let's suppose it makes a major attack, which hasn't been verified, even on the russian side of the cap is there's nothing major, major attack. it looks to be a buckle group involved. ukraine has dozens and dozens of such popular groups. what we're going to here over the next few weeks and months of plenty of these claims,

and very few, i think count the claims from ukraine. the record of the training so far has been my not going to say anything unless we achieve something. and generally speaking on this side of achieve something they've achieved it so that this isn't, this isn't all set and also nature of an concerning box moods. this is an area where both sides of our one the, the city itself is captured, but ukrainians happy nibbling away at the flags. and they continue to do so. putting at risk of costs over the, over the costs of the operation document itself for being surrounded and, and perhaps indeed close to being taken. but, but we'll say about that. can you give us some insight as frank into the military strategy that ukraine might be pursuing in his counter offensive? so there's lots besides military icons really, because like everybody else, we don't know as so the kind of minister of defense said yesterday,

odette to minnesota silence is the front of the military time. so they're not telling us how it, but i think what we can say is this, that it won't be one bound. it won't be one must have a so, you know, one not a big push. like in the 1st 12 will. they do tend to fail. what is more likely to base a series of bites and holes operations all across the front? so to pro, for russian weaknesses, and it's gonna take a long time. so we shouldn't expect something to happen quickly. this is a long series of operations that may have just because we don't know yet what types of military resources does ukraine possess that could help make its counter offensive successful? frank? well, let's deal with that in, in, in, in 3 ways. first of all, the human element, most of all, what ukraine has is high morale, excellent training, and a dining will to witness. and none of those things applies to the russians.

unenroll fast right from the start of the world. we saved this. this is the most important element of all fed. then we have what's called a conceptual element, plans, duction and so forth. and you create and showed itself to be got to that, that mistake a must street in the employment of force. and finally, find the needs of the site equipment and a bubble. the ability on the crating side to to that identify targets to describe me to i suspect they may have less than hoping not on a hit them with precision artillery and precision strike. and those advantage with a likely to carry the day for the pregnancy, those are the assets they have to write. thank you very much. that was former british military intelligence officer, frank live, which thank you that much. tell you what was impressions a well russian place of arrested more than a 100 demonstrators who took to the streets to mark the birthday of jailed kremlin critic. alexa, and abounding demonstrators. held hand written the signs, calling for his release. the human rights monitoring group,

o. v. d info said the volleys porters were detained in 23 cities across russia, including moscow and st. petersburg. the prominent opposition leader was jailed for fraud and contempt of court bodily maintains the charges were trump tough to silence him. for us, his government has passed increasingly tough flaws to stifle criticism since its invasion of ukraine. so is it even possible to oppose the government in letting me put in russia, the w caught up with a local opposition politician in moscow? constantine sancho is focusing on community action like this recycling drive. coffee is a local opposition politician for the moscow district of much ice cubes. every months he gets anywhere from 50 to a 100 people together here to sort and recycle their garbage. recycling is largely uncontroversial in russia for now. so the authorities did recently shut

down the environmental organization green piece openly criticizing. the government is almost impossible. but konstantin thinks this kind of event can be a start to go to the docs that we're likely. ecological campaigns can really unites people in these hard times. it's important to stay united and support each of us. and it's important to know we're trying to do at least some thing to improve the load around us. of an overwhelming majority of russian support president vladimir putin, at least according to government pollsters. increasingly draconian laws have made protesting against the russian government all but impossible, especially since the war and ukraine started even post on social media, criticizing the war can mean up to 15 years in prison before you leave me in the, in the digital, the types of ship like russia, it's a kind of a person's every move can be traced to controlled the far it is, can find out everything about the person, the interested in very quickly if necessary. i think that right now the me

preaching is opponents. the main task might be to get through this time and stay out of prison. taken to the barricades now is a bad idea of what he thought it was a most russian opposition. politicians are in jail or an exile, but that didn't stop 23 year old konstantin con. call from going into local politics just last year. he knows that the more public attention he gets, the more he's in danger. lots of activists who have stayed in russia are afraid. we don't know if a police will come in social home in the morning. unfortunately, because of the repressive laws being passed is dangerous to express your opinion in public its own unpleasant while we have to work in the conditions, we have the law politically settled except flooded chemicals plans to continue his monthly recycling drive and he hopes to stay in politics, despite everything, he believes things in russia can change more this week and talk now to alexa. you

sup off, he is the director of the russian program at the friedrich a bridge stiff do. that's a think tank here in berlin. thanks for being with us. electric, how would you describe the current stage of the opposition in russia as well? the word of position implies that there is still a possibility to actually be inside the political system and have a short of power. and this is just not the case. so actually, i would say there is no such thing as a position in the russia except of the self assigned a position where the kremlin decides that there will be political parties that look as if their independence. so there is a lot of defense. there is a lot of anti war and n type routine sentiment in the society, especially in the cities, but in no position and in the organized manner has indeed been destroyed completely . and so actually, it was mentioned just before by the gentleman who interviewed the main task,

it was maybe to survive to stay true to yourself, so also not to be corrupted or co opted by the regime. and also just continue doing what you've been doing before white community action, the political analyst and our report there suggested that the time is not ripe for opposition groups, whether they're above ground or underground to take to the barricades that openly resisting food teen is, is unrealistic. right now, is that how you see it as well, or do you see room for put into opponents to maneuver as well? if we look back, it's 2019 in the years just before cove, its struck and actually also became something which closed on public space in russia for a while, even before the recent aggression against ukraine. that social discontent and political dynamics have been on the rise locally, at least. and this is important because local politics are those where the level of engagement of people with their day to day problems is actually the highest time

they have the potential to serve as a breeding ground for liberal democratic thinking. and well, the kremlin was very much aware of it and so we see the best rate that you're in, crushing the opposition forces is very meaningful to have a sense of shape. you have also surveillance, but they also have the well deletion of public theaters from the public space be by some nation or by imprisonment and so on and so forth. but that doesn't take away the fact that there was a lot of um, well, let's say easiness about the lack of the idea of what's next, but russia the kremlin and let them know to put you in. i'm not able to answer the question and actually avoid is altogether, and if you look at the 20 year reign of letting me put in all of the social well successes in terms of social policy as well for health care, relative stability. it's all withering away at the moment. so the question of what is next for the russian society and economy will come back inevitably. and so in that very moment, that will be very important to have alternatives,

and this is what it is about for opposition. politicians bigger, stackable. yeah, i want to ask you about those alternatives moving forward because uh, as you know, many booting critics are either jail of like alexa, end of on the or, or in exile. you say there's no open opposition left in russia. how effective can opposition figure be though, when they're working from outside of rush? that's a big question. indeed, there is, well unprecedentedly, a very large bully to go exile, which hasn't been the case for a 100 years and even more in the russian history. but indeed for exile actors, it's very hard both to stay in touch with the society, the ones to represent. but also be credible because it's easy to, you know, go to berlin and brussels, and then give advice to those why in russia. so again, i don't think the actual purpose of those and exile is to go in demonstration on

develop an alternative constitution and whatsoever it is to be able at the moment of page, or at the moment where well, the conversation about the russian teacher will restart be there and be a credible alternative saying, look, russia is not completely locked in into an anti european, anti liberal, autocratic pass of development. this is the actual historical task. it doesn't help to the russian exile is very often very self centered. many political exiles are, this is just the nature of it, but also we have some unique features of it at the current moment. for many people find not personally persecuted, it's easy to go back and forth. it's weird because you always have to fear political persecution. but the board has on the close and the russian government is very smart about that. i spoke to one governmental official, told me, well, we've analyzed the experience of the berlin wall very much, and this is going to be the last thing we're going to do to actually put up real ball has the deep exit visa. so be the actual controls because this would trigger panic and actual and that actual exit or so, you know,

in this globalized aerotech. so is a way, but also not completely and way. and this is in using alexa, thank you very much for your insights. that was alexa use of policies, director of the rest of the program, the free to ever step down here. berlin, a sketchup on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. an estimated half 1000000 people march through warsaw on sunday to voice their opposition against the nationalist government to have a rally was called by a former european council president donald to us who is hoping to unseat pullman's ruling party in the upcoming parliamentary elections. addresses one costume. india's railway minister says a faulty electronic signal appears to be the cause of a deadly crash that killed at least $275.00 people. the collision on friday involved to passenger trains and a freight train. hundreds of people are still in still being treated in hospital.

a peaceful escape from the noisy streets of central hard to him. but now the calm is deceptive. less than 5 kilometers away, the fighting continues unabated, done as opposed to a level psalms and straight bullets hit us. the sound of artillery has become normal for us. at 1st we were afraid and hid. but now we go out despite the warning noises, because we feel we're already dead anyway. so it's better to live our last day is moving until god decides. otherwise. i'm going out the i want to kind of hurts before the war, math towards computer science at the university and have to he hasn't received a salary for 2 months. so he has gone back to farming to feed his family. landey inherited has now become a lifeline for him and others to because the markets of closed accounts and his

my suppliers are closed. once these lentils are sold, we won't get any more. and if i do find some, they'll be expensive and i won't get much and that will the food prices have doubled. ahmed, we'll have to rush in the small portion. even water is scarce, people q to use one of the fuel working pumps on that hopes. other countries will put more pressure on the war infections if no, to end the war, then it leads to enforce real ceasefire motions and so on. good, you know, the biggest challenge now is to push through with a, a p of the international community to stop the war one who. no, this is very important to us because breaching armistice is lucky and continuing this tool of war is very, very dangerous. and hopefully that gives you the non, regardless of the social on that discuss, is leaving her to him with a neighbor. but he can't afford to. and even if he could,

so becoming more likely and lasting longer storms more intense. the economic toll is on the rise in 2021. economic damage cost by natural disasters. hit more than $250000000000.00. some estimate save that costs from less than damage caused by climate change and developing countries alone could reach $1.00 trillion dollars by 2050. today here in charlotte, shift with last year developed nations agreed to set up funding to help global sales countries cope with the financial impact of climate change related losses at the international climate summit in egypt. but just talks kickoff this, we can bone, it's clear that will be tensions. it all comes down to money. that the a sense in, in some of the developed countries that define, that's available. so international solidarity is limited. we're seeing

a cost of living process globally. thanks to skyrocketing energy prices, the hangovers from the pivot pandemic. and that's making all of these conversations about money and how to funds climate action, even walk broad countries and the global noise will also be coming under pressure as they prepared to reveal how far they've come with goals to reduce carbon emissions. it's part of a global stop take, so will be given during the next international climate summit club $28.00 in the united arab emirates and november ex. but say there will be no surprises. it's going to say we're not on track to keeping global warming below 3 degrees level and keeping it to below $1.00 degrees. so we need to see a strong and robust response from government cup $28.00 on what they're going to do to close those gaps. the bun talks will serve as little comfort to the people in

pakistan. i'm still recovering from last year's flooding. but behind the scenes delegates will be hoping to hammer out technical details that move rich and nations closer to action, sol as commitment, so we'll likely have to wait for world leaders to take the stage later in the year . in formula one that's been max 1st off and sealed another when at the spanish ground prayed to extend his lead to the top at the top of the championship. 253 points. a strong showing from mercedes, however, means the world champion might not have it all his own way. this season starting and pole position rentals. max for stepan was seeking his 5th when it only be 813 of the season. and the dutchman got off to a dream start keeping local boy color signs that fail neoprene ton for stuff was
