the, the, this is the, the news coming to life from berlin. russia says it has beaten back and major offensive by ukraine. moscow releases footage it says shows brushing forces repelling a ukrainian attack and the don't yet screeching chief has not commented on the claim. meanwhile, pro ukrainian or russian fighters step up their operations inside russia,

farms groups loyalty cube, say they've captured soldiers and rushes build garad regions, and opposition intern, authoritarian states. as russian police went on supporters of kremlin credit collection divani, we meet a young opposition. politicians on the ground who walks the fine line between active isn't interest plus climate change gets underway and climate change talks get underway. here in germany, we take a look at what's on the agenda at the bond climate change conference, the hello and terry martin. good to have you with us. russia claims it has stopped a major military offensive by ukrainian troops and that done yet scrooge in a mostly russian can troll region of eastern ukraine. russia's defense ministry

says its forces killed 250 soldiers on sunday, the ministry released this drone video which could not be independently verified, purports to show russian forces, poor thing, a large scale attacked by 2 tank battalions and other recognized units in southern areas of joan yet, ukrainian officials who have said they're ready for a major operation to push back, occupying forces, have not commented on the russian claim. all russia has also claimed to have advanced near the eastern city of buffalo. and i asked military analyst frank read language in oxford to make sense of these new reports. well, good morning, terry's bank concerning 1st of all the suppose it makes a major attack, which hasn't been verified. even on the russian side of the cob. this is nothing major, major attack, it looks to be a buffalo group involved. ukraine has dozens and dozens of such popular groups. what we're going to here over the next few weeks and months. plenty of these claims

and very few, i think count the claims from ukraine. the record of the ukrainian sofa has been my not going to say anything unless we achieve something. generally speaking on this side of achieve something they've achieved it. so that this isn't, this isn't all set and also the nature of ag, concerning box moods. this is an area where both sides of our one big city itself is captured, but ukrainians have been nibbling away at the flanks 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 perhaps in the cost of being taken. but, but we'll say about that. can you give us some insights, 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 be as a series of bites and hold operations all across the front. so to pro progression 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 uh, in 3 ways. festival, the human element, most of all, what ukraine has is high morale, excellent training, and a funding will to witness a none of those things applies to the russians. and we'll fax right from the start

to the will receive this. this is the most important element of all of them. we have what's called a conceptual element, plans, duction and so forth. and you crate and showed itself to be got to demonstrate a must street in the employment of thoughts. and finally, a, find the need of the site equipment and above all, the ability on the crating side to it to that identify targets to describe me to i suspect they might have less than hoping that on a hit them with precision, all tailoring precision strike. and those advantage with a likely to carry the day for the pregnancy, those are the assets they have to have it. right. thank you very much. that was former british military intelligence officer, frank led, which thank you very much. tell you what was the patience it is finding rages in ukraine's or had been fresh reports of strikes across the border on russian territory to pro ukrainian arm groups are claiming they carried out a series of operations in the region to be able to run the fighters say they are

russians fighting against the kremlin and claim to have captured soldiers inside russia. these 40 is released by the pro ukraine. freedom of russia legion claims to show the sizes, entering a town in russia's belgrade region, along with the russian volunteer coal. they've claimed responsibility for a series of attacks inside russian territory. the groups say they've captured russian soldiers and will hand them over to cranium, no authority with flashing and showing that on russia's side of the border. thousands of fled to belgrade cc from surrounding areas, which isn't a hard time to back, you know, was palmed very heavily, almost nothing was left. so now showing the destruction and done yeah, it's gone tv. that's how it looks in our ship back. you know right now we barely escaped, the shelling belgrade skills are not, is urging people to evacuate the border region. the town of shit back, you know,

has been repeatedly showed from across the border while fighting is ongoing and know via trouble. jenco, the attacks on russian soil have drawn the attention of you have any pre goshen head of the russian mastery group. wagner and regular critic of the country's military laid it off to his success, taking the ukrainian cc of buck moved his threatening to send his fight is to protect russia the death of a glitch. why did we take back to move and rename it? you asked, you must, which you why a tens of thousands of people, our russian guys dying moving towards the west. and in order for us to start giving away step by step pieces of the belgrade region, our more do the russian land was empty. we'd be as far as he's in belgrade roads now, handing out aid to that or in people rushes war in ukraine is increasingly slipping

. back across the board of russian police arrested more than a 100 demonstrators who took to the streets to mark the 1st day of jailed kremlin critic election. divani demonstrators, health hand written assigns, calling for his release, human rights monitoring group o, b. d. in posted of only supporters were detained and 23 cities across russia, including moscow and st. petersburg, prominent opposition leader was jailed for fraud and contempt of court. but no problem. the maintains the charges were trumped up to silence him. rushes government has passed increasingly tough laws to stifle criticism since its invasion of ukraine. so is it even possible to oppose the government in vladimir put into russia? dw caught up with the local opposition politician in moscow. constantine called his focusing on community action like this. recycling dr. coffee,

the local opposition. politician for the moscow district of much ice cubes every month 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, greenpeace openly criticizing the government. it's almost impossible. but konstantin thinks this kind of event can be a start. that goes jackson. likely ecological campaigns can really unites people in these hard times. it's important to stay united on support each of us. and it's important to know we tried to do at least some thing to improve about around us. an overwhelming majority of russians, port president, flooding mere fluids and at least according to government posters. increasingly draconian laws have made protesting against the russian government all but impossible. especially since the war and ukraine started even a post on social media criticizing the war can mean up to 15 years in prison before

you leave me in the, in the digital dictatorship 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 that person very interested in very quickly if necessary. i think that right now a lot to me patients, opponents, the main task might be to get through this time and say out of prison. taken to the barricade, snow 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 olds, 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 is old and pleasant. we have to work in the conditions. we have the law

critically settled except for your kind of cool plans to continue his monthly recycling drive. and he hopes to stay in politics despite everything he believes things in russia can change. alexi use of pulse is the director of the rest of the program with a free disabled foundation. that's a think tank here in berlin. i asked him about the current state 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 the self assigned a position where the crimson 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 in an 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. like community action, the political analyst in our report there, suggested that the time is not right 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 awhile even before the recent progression against ukraine. the 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 criminal was very much aware of it and so we see the best strategy on crushing the opposition forces is very meaningful to have a sense of shape you up also surveillance, but they also have the well deletion of public leaders from the public space be by assessing 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 i'm easiness about the lack of the idea of what's next, but russia the kremlin, then let them at a point you're not able to answer the question. and actually avoid is altogether and if you look at the 20 year reign of lading, which and 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 it will be very important to have alternatives, and this is what it is about as proposition politicians big or stackable. yeah, i want to ask you about those alternatives moving forward because as you know, many booting critics are either jailed like alexa, end of on the or, or an 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 in 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 future will restart be there and be a credible alternative saying, look, russia is not completely locked in into an anti european, anti liberal, autocratic path of development. this is the actual historical task. it doesn't help to the russian exile is very ultimately self center to 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 a. so, you know, in this globalized aerotech. so is a way, but also not completely and way. and this is a new thing. alexa, thank you very much for your insights. that was alexa use of policies, director of the rest of the program. the free day ever stepped on here in berlin. the sketch up on a few other stories making headlines today. an estimated half 1000000 people march through warsaw on sunday to voice their opposition against the national government . riley was called by former europe and council president, donald tusk, who is hoping to and see poland ruling party in the upcoming parliamentary elections checklist. india is really administer 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 in a freight train. hundreds of people are still in still being treated in hospital in the us and saudi arabia had urged the warring generals in sudan to agree to a new cease fire as fighting address is 8th week on saturday and extension to a us. so the broker truce expired with no sign of the conflict of bathing. while the 1800 people have been killed since fighting broke out in april. to go she address from around the world or converging in germany this week for the ball and the climate change conference. one of the goals of the conference is to hash out the details for a new fund intended to pay for loss and damage experience by poorer nations due to climate change. the meeting comes just as well. the nations gets set to outline their plans to tackle the global crisis. heavy rain and severe flooding, more than $1500.00 people died of the cost of extreme floods and practiced on in

2022. the disasters estimated to of cost around $30000000000.00 and economic losses and damage. climate change likely increased rain full intensity by around 50 percent according to a study. and it's also having an impact of swear, heat waves, and drive, it's 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 estimates say that costs from less than damage caused by climate change in 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. the but just talks kick off 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 to find 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 brought countries in the global nose 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 in november x. but say that will be no surprises. it's going to say when 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 governments. i cut $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 is flooding. but behind the scenes delegates will be hoping to hammer out technical details that move rich and nations close to to action. solis commitment, so we'll likely have to wait for world leaders to take the stage later in the year . and d w as climate reporter, luis osborne, who filed that report, joins me now in the studio. so the conference louise that's happening now in bon is supposed to lay the groundwork for cop $28.00 later this year. what are delegates meeting and bon now hoping to achieve? that's right. so this is more of a technical conference actually just to prepare everything for, for

a comp $28.00. and that means that they will be looking at the nitty gritty, behind some of the decisions that they're going to be dealing with in of the club $28.00. so we're looking at the last some damage issue, which is compensation for developing countries who are feeling a lot of these impacts as the result of climate change and are unable to adapt to some of them. the other really important thing is going to be the global stock take . so it's important because it's the 1st one since the price agreement was signed. and it will look at the measures the countries are taking to try to reduce the carbon emissions. whether that's sufficient, which they're not, and how they are going to move forward with trying to up their game to, to make this problem. no go way. but if we reduce that least now there is some sort of preliminary preliminary agreement already about climate compensation. why has it become a sticking point at this or where we are now? so when we talk about that,

we're talking about lawson damage is the things that countries are feeling in the global south, mostly because of the climate change. and they have contributed little to the problem so very little in terms of compensation outside emissions, but feeling the biggest impact. the argument comes to then who should be contributing money, full best funds that will be taking place and how much and how much it's $1.00 of the main sticking points is that developed countries say china, for example, should be contributing a china is the biggest uh, carbon dioxide in this to at the most and, but historically, it wasn't always so the united states and europe has both contributed more carbon dioxide emissions to the out the smith and china overall. okay. china still sees itself is a developing that that's also to some extent true. and so that is also going to be the question, who should be receiving the funding as well on the other end. okay. comp 28. the

next real big you in climate negotiation is going to be taking place later this year is going to be hosted by the united arab emirates, which is a major fossil fuel ex porter is not likely to, to influence the negotiations in any way. that's right. what would be the cops president is also the president of the nation's oil and gas company, which is one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world. and yes, that's bound to have some kind of impact. b, u and climate chief, for example, has already said that limiting or phasing out fossil fuels should be on the agenda . i've called 28th, but he doubts that it will be because obviously this is something that is not at some pages for the united arab emirates. that's actually looking at run thing off it's oil production. critics have also said that obviously, you know, how can a country that produce so much oil be taking charge of this issue and being trying

to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. so that will be a lot of activists looking to have at this point home. and it's bound to happen and people look at these conferences taking place regularly. the scene is comp 28th or been so many of these conference with the parties conferences before. uh and you know, the, the calls for climate change becoming more and more urgent. and yet very little, far reaching change to these conferences really help. well, i mean, arguably, you can also say that, you know, thing cards, thousands of people to travel which contributes to the, the problem of climate change on this thing is that, you know, these things are built on trust. and by me saying, uh, you know, developing countries and developed countries together, it helps to foster some kind of trust that could not be done if it weren't in person. so we have to see, you know, like every conference has some kind of progress and, and we'll have to see how much progress will come from this one. we thank you very

much for luis osborne from w club. so now moving on to sports, and for me one that's been mex, 1st off and sealed another when the spanish ground prayed to extend his leads at the top of the championship to $53.00 points. a strong showing for mercedes, however, means the world champion might not have it all his own way. this is the starting and poll position. red bulls max for stepan, was seeking his between if the season and the document off to a dream starts keeping local boy cala signs that the only other thing ton for stepping was hunted throughout the afternoon by 7. so i'm low champion, louise hamilton, and he's beside his teammate, george russell, for the parent would have to settle the 2nd and 3rd, respectively. for stephen was just to dominance leading all the way. i'm thinking the faf, the slap on route 20 routine victory. he would finish,
