the, the, this is the w news live from the land. russia says it has beaten back a military offensive by ukraine. moscow release is footage. it says shows russian forces repelling a ukrainian attack in the done yet screeching chief has not yet commented on the claims. also coming out climate change talks get on the way here in germany,

we take a look at what's on the agenda at the point where i'm at change conference and preparations for the world climate conference later this year and stuff and dominate for me, not one that yes, again, he wins the spanish on pre, extending his lead at the top of the statics that and much more coming out lisa in our sports needs the new kids mckinnon. welcome to the program. russia slaves, it has stops and military offensive by ukrainian troops in the don't yet region. that's a partially russian occupied region of east and ukraine. russians, defense ministry says its forces killed 250 soldiers on sunday. the defense ministry released this drone video, which couldn't be independently verified, but it purports to its russian forces, forcing

a large scale attack by 2 ton battalions and other mechanized units in the southern areas of done yet. you're training and officials who said that they're ready for a major operation to push back. ok. applying forces, have notes, commented on the russian claim. franklin, which is a full, not precision military intelligence officer based and oxford. and i asked him what he makes of russia's claim, but it has repelled a major you crazy and offensive. well, good afternoon, andrea, but we can tell nothing from this video footage. it has no at the stump. and even if it did all it shows it is as you will see, the vehicle's been engaged, but upon the bile tell everyone to tack uh, ordinance in. no great numbers it later on in the video you see about the stilted russian officer claim. all kinds of heavy casualties which are completely on evidence. however, aside from this,

one thing we need to be aware of as this campaign goes on, that will be casualties. but i think this is not an announcement of any kind of success by the russians, except the propaganda play. okay, i did want to ask you about a new video that's been released by the ukranian defense and ministry. it's called plans love silence. we're going to take a quick look and then we'll come back to front the okay, that video that really released by the training on me indicating that they won't be a formal announcement of this much anticipated account offensive. so how will we know if it's even started? it's funny, there are some indicators,

and i think we've seen these indicators. the 1st and most important is the present . and so let's get started yesterday for the 1st time, they're ready to go. the weather is good, the weather is important by the way, through ukrainians, particularly because of the reliance on precision wiper night. a informed by drugs what you need pretty good weather and also they are often vehicles. we see shaping operations, which you've already mentioned by that mean preparation, this evening deception of a russian forces confusion in belgrade. even the girl instructs on moscow role posit that information, information shaping operation. and we are also seeing reports from the front of operations all across the south of ukraine just beginning. so i would suggest the only indicators would indicate that we all beginning this series of operations of the plan is called a contra pensive. okay, and let's just take a moment to talk about its objectives. i mean, what would you say constitute success as far as this counter offensive is concerned?

or well, any military operation be a, just a section attack of, of, of 10 people or on the, on the, on the assault has orders and the orders will give objective sco, any particular stage of the operation for this whole country offensive as the sears account offensive. expensive operations, the straight levels of the tactical, the operational mr. teach at which are the 3 levels of all the technical level of any particular unit may have, may have, we'll have an objective. but overall, it may well be to take this portion of land, put us in a position a say for example, take a city, let's say multiple, for example, or we take bus much we take. so don't ask who knows? so that's at the technical level. the operational level of the object is, will be to destabilize western forces to confuse and confound a defeat. at the statistic level, the objective of the operations are clear and they ought to set the conditions for a walkable and doable victory. and of course to sustains and maintain western face

and ukrainian success the night by maintaining not flow of weapons of political support on you. so those are the essential objectives of this will be a long honda operation. this will not be as a by christmas. yeah, i did want to ask you about the, the international response that we can expect to see. and if you crane doesn't make significant advances. 2 the us, as many i said, but really they, they, they only sell the town militarily, has made it very clear that they will sustain and maintain that support through say, consent. and let's be honest, and that's be blunt. as i said outside, no operation, particularly assault operation, goes about casualties that are huge risks, and this will be set back and we need to be ready for that. but the ukrainians all set up here for success. they have the training, they've got them around, they've got the equipment that they've got the leadership talks, most importantly,

suggest operation to succeed. so that will be set boxed possible western response. i think the americans are held fast. however, there's a major constraint to this, of course, and not so the political level that there is the election in the us next year. and the ukraine is want this done and completed by the task special, frank and frank, thank you so much. that's frank ledford led, which format military analyst in the u. k. thank you. thanks very much. a pressing police of arrested more than 100 demonstrators who took to the streets to monk the bus day of the jailed kremlin critic. alexei nev only demonstrates, has held hand written signs calling for his release. the human rights monitoring group a v d in so setting of only support has what attains in 23 cities across russia, including most of infant pieces that the prominent opposition leader was jailed for fraud and contempt. of course, the only maintains the charges would trump top to sign of versus government posts

increasingly tough flaws to stifle criticism since its invasion of the price. so is it even possible to oppose the government in flooding medicines? russia dw spoke with a local opposition politician in moscow. constantine called is focusing on community action like this recycling drive. coffee, the local opposition, politician for the moscow district of much icy. 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, though, the authorities did recently shut down the environmental organization. green piece openly criticizing the government. it's almost impossible. but konstantin thinks this kind of event can be a start, that goes just jackson. likely ecological campaigns can really unites people in these hot 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 about around us . an overwhelming majority of russian support president vladimir putin, 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, the types of ship like russia, it's a kind of a puzzle. every move can be traced to control. the far it is can find out everything about the person very interested in very quickly if necessary. i think that right now a lot to me pretends opponents. the main task might be to get 3 this time and stay out of prison. i'll take him to the barricades now is a bad idea of what he thought it was a most rushing off edition. 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, you don't know if the police will come in, so she'll home in the morning. so unfortunately, because of the repressive laws being passed is dangerous to express your opinion in public uh its own unpleasant. we have to work in the conditions. we have the law politically 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 like say use a puff is the director of the roof. it program at the finish about foundation. that's the think tank here, invalid. and we often about the current status 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's 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 that was alexa, you support from the, for the a better traditional. now germany is defense. minnesota is in indonesia as part of his to the in the pacific region bars. the story is, was greeted by his counterpart for bothers to be unto in the capital to costa. this

is his 1st trip to asia as government defense, minnesota, as far as once germany to expand its role in the, in the pacific. he's called the region key to promoting global pace. the next step on his tool will be india. the w use a chief political cart correspondent, nina house, that is traveling with the defense minister and she sent us this update from dakota . a gemini is new defense minnes divorce disorders is on the 1st trip to asia since taking office. you want stephanie to be more active and more engaged in the, in the pacific. and he says that that includes defense. now i had the opportunity to interview him here in jakarta in indian, easier today. and he said that it is important that gemini needs to think about supporting democratic partners in this region. more. busy including with watson, he's, he's traveling to india tomorrow and he told me that he's not traveling a load. well, when i, when i, when i will arrive. and then yeah,

i will be accompanied by a representative of the german companies, defense industry companies. and i want to send a signal was that we are willing to support our populace already live apartments like indonesia like india. and that include, for example, the way the way of the possibility of delivering a simpler region for example. so we'll talk about that without losing out of photos, the sensibility of delivering weapons all over the world. we have to find a balance between delivering weapons on the once on the one hand to our populace to our live with pop laws. and on the other hand, to control and to, to, to limit delivering of weapons all over the world. because we don't need really so much weapons anymore in the what we should not have too much weapons. and you can watch that interview with the german defense minister info any time on the dw news youtube channel. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. and the

u. s. navy has released a new video of what it cools, china's on safe maneuver in the taiwan strait this past weekend. us destroyer in the full ground flows to avoid colliding with china is that so when it crosses the destroys pulse beijing claims was way as its territory. the us and its allies say the voices of international a well sorry season trying to say that at least 19 people were killed in a landslide and 61 province. part of the mountain collapse near the city of lashawn mud and debris was sent, hustling towards the construction site authorized by a local mining company, search and rescue efforts have now ended. i've been afraid the woman jailed for 2 decades over the death of 4 children has been paused and kathleen megan full, big was freed up to new evidence, suggested the children could have died from genetic mutations and congenital

disorders. that desa could within a 10 year period to put some closure on this. negotiate says from around the world, amazing in the west gym and said he was born this week for you and clement talks. one of the goals is to hash out the details of a new fund that is intended to pay for loss damage, experienced by poor a nation's due to climate change. the meeting comes, as wealthy nations proposed outline that plans to tackle the global climate prices . heavy rain and severe flooding, more than $1500.00 people died of cost of extreme slots and practiced on in 2022. the disaster is estimated to of cost around $30000000000.00 and economic losses of 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 wave, some 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 save it 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. 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 define that's available. so international solidarity is limited. we're seeing a cost of living process globally. thanks to skyrocketing energy prices. the henry

of us 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 bon talks will serve as little comfort to the people in pakistan still recovering from last is flooding. but behind the scenes delegates

will be hoping to hammer out technical details that move rich and nations closer to action. solis commitment, so we'll likely have to wait for world leaders to take the stage later in the year . the dw climate reports and luis osborne who filed that report, joins me now in the studio. hi, louise, tell us what's on the agenda for this this conference. these talks in bone. so this is a technical conference that is going to lay the groundwork for the cop 28th that's coming later this year. so it will be looking at the nitty gritty behind the big decisions that will be heard then. they'll be looking at less than damage, which is a kind of compensation for developing countries that are feeling the worst of the climate crisis. they will then also be looking at this thing called the global stock take. now this is very important is the 1st time that it's happened since the power. so agreement. and it's looking at the measures the countries are taking to

try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. and whether they're enough, it's going to find that they're not enough. and it's just a question then of seeing whether countries are going to make because commitments to try and move forward. like turn the gear at this pick a conference. now the last you at climate, you in a climate conference, the cop $27.00 agreed on a loss and damage fund to support for a nation's didn't it. so can you explain to us why climate company compensation is still such a sticking point? so they agreed that that should be a funds, but they didn't agree on how that is going to look, and that is what they're going to be talking about. so the lesson damage deals with the, the impacts that developing countries, particularly are feeling as a part of the climate change prices. and it's developing the developed countries, sorry, that will be then paying money towards those developing countries as the ones that have actually contributed to the c o $2.00 being in the atmosphere in the 1st place

. so one of the 2nd points is that developed countries, things that china as the biggest demit to should also be paying into this fund. but actually, china is not historically made to the you or the europe. and the us have contributes of more c, o 2 of the time. and so the question is whether china should be contributing or not . and then also looking at like, who should be receiving that money and how that is going to be calculated in pesto, sil, still lots of details to be worked out. the i've got to ask you about the united arab emirates, a huge oil exparza. i'm and host of cope 28. so the next you in climate conference, surely that will impact negotiations. those right will be of the cop president, is actually be a c, e o, all the nations oil and gas company, which is one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world even. and that is going to have an impact for sure. i mean, this president is supposed to be

a neutral party in the tools, and people are questioning how that can be the case when he is obviously in this position. there is also going to be some criticism, generally of, of being in the united arab emirates as a states that is not allowing process. and those kinds of things. um, there is also, i mean, the united arab emirates itself has actually said that, you know, they want to see big oil take place at the tables to be involved in this tool. the problem is that they are cooling for emissions to be lowered rather than fossil fuel phase. our, which is what the u. n wants to see. and these emissions will then, you know, could be taken by calling top to, for example, as a technology. but this technology has not been proven of scale. and so they're all going to be different ways that, that going tough to get through this. but it is definitely controversial that they are holding the tools controversial. absolutely. say louise osborne from dw environment. thank q. are

now in formula one dutchman, next step and sealed another went up the spanish chrome prey to extend his lead at the top of the championship to $53.00 points, a strong setting for messiah. these however, means the world champion might not have it all his own way this season. the starting and pole position, red bulls max for stepan was seeking his between if the season and the document off to a dream starts keeping local boy color assigned to the only other thing. ton for stepping was hunted throughout the afternoon by 7. so i'm low champion, louise hamilton, and he's the say these teammate george russell for the parent would have to settle for 2nd and 3rd, respectively. for stephan was just to dominance leading all the way. i'm thinking the faf, the slap on route 20 routine victory. he would finish bold in 24 seconds clear

this was the end of this stuff that will help him. the don't go over the top, trying to plug it back like the red cutting mc. so wouldn't and didn't the 1st leg the on off is the, and we've seen that it's very important that we keep a high level of concentration for the return leg. in the 1st leg. there were periods where we were chasing shadows and were hammer got into the final 3rd and created chances to come on. don't show us and see that. despite the miserable look in recent times, i'm books. famously passionate fans will turn that volkswagen study on into a cold and tonight they try to help the team pull off the near impossible and staying with football around the dread of confirm that strikes the korean bends and not is leaving the frenchman who scored on his final appearance on sunday is expected to move it. saudi arabia spends and that deposits the spanish side. a legend having scored 353 goals in oil competitions since joining at the age of 21. from his boyhood club, neil only christiano, rinaldo has scored more goals for you. the said he 5 year old bends and the $124.00
