this station you premium, especially. so unfortunately, we're not even admitted to the station. so i've been an extra ro guess of mine to the territory. oh, there's a whole above lab and who do the executive to see the uh, you know theres 2. you asked me about the reasons you probably use it. us the reasons to the rest and say, but not a single positive, same point crane would be uh, from the, from these for a list of aggressive act of terrorism. the territories slot yours for this and about 15000000000 cubic meters of what city are them. so the wire, so yeah, there was the order of the last in southern grace, severe and damages to the environment and go to the buyer and see all this agents. but what this very important deals of what was the other terrorist, the little security this, what there was used to a to, to, to, to,

to see the article that's in your brain. right. what those are right. it was, was useful in you clear power plants the yet are so it's still on the, in the interest or asset to make this another doris. this sense of because april side, because the often most of the old was older get to immediately, but more to be seen in the future days. mr. chocolate, as you may or may not have heard the claimant's spokes person says that ukraine is responsible for this attack, that you, that you might have done it to cut off water supply to crime. yeah. to the best of my knowledge of these or is that was not the only feed into the grain. you know, why scores it's cost supplied and you know, it's a lot in the area on the left there all of us off, oh wow. have some list which is still control the production. so how cynical the ease you, you utilize the lives of people whom you come from your comment. deliberate is

implement the beginning of open aggressive. but for us, for us all those people, all these areas, are you bringing people in your brain matters? we stop at the rescue on a vacation operations on the air has been solved by your premiums armed forces and buying great news. wow. what is, what is going on on the 3rd, there is which on hold on the guns. unfortunately, one for the years. well, this was the destruction of this, this, them, this, which will come with it in any way affect your military strategy on the ground. probably one of the reasons you asked me in the beginning of the interview, what was, what was the reason? it's probably been one of the reasons you don't have to distract our attention from what this plan allows or will you like these not a single, you know, point to the plan resource plan. no single one of our comprehensive little bit distracted super in definitely to do what the last little make under offensive and

definitely to liberate later. so here i am, i want to, uh, quote you the words off uh, ukraine's defense, mit, excuse me, brushes, defense minister today said that your attempts as, as ukraine to, to launch it will stop the counter offensive, has been ported over the past 3 days. uh, could you just give us your side frontier? is that true? a no looking man. there are some narratives and say excess. let me get to there are some narratives that they caps or a grass for all the 1st 3 or 5 this elaine raising. so i was on this very tough decision with the i want to bring us back to, to the breach of the stab. and how is it is that situation affects and will potentially going to affect the separation nuclear power plant from what we hear to the specialist you will not have an immediate effect because yes,

this is there was part of the cooling system of this operation process. but let me see this here after the international institution since really high a to control the situation they are claiming that they have industry control association. what is going on on this process will welcome uh the to the this is of the efforts to the media to the console. mr. chase. and to me go see, get hold of the situation. but well, i don't think and limited control is a freaking big problem. with the media, with the global that i sense of some inside of the blog explosions that often phillips will either planning something like they might be playing on the apartment or doing all the songs. things that the goal of that mrs. wilcox, are you able to prevent future attacks on infrastructure like this? because this is not the 1st time we're seeing an attack on, on critical infrastructure such as the stat as well. just so one of this beam,

you know, clubs on the coffee by territory was not consoled by you. great. was less was flooded. i'm glad to say well before all this is very difficult to do these, but them work with them on the web. the more support from the lessons days we're getting, the most powerful will be to start to count that offensive until it breaks the years fully. okay, so do you want any way to fully predict those terms attached? those actual process is to fully with so there are certain films from this area right. and that is the view from kids this evening. thank you to miss the whole 12 class deputy head office of the president of u. k. and we appreciate your time, sir. thank you. nato blames rushes invasion for the dance disruption, speaking from process latha in slovakia earlier today. and they to say for 3

general again spoken with quote, the breach and outrages acs the district. so the hope got them today. pitts. house and so civilians at risk and coal, so severe environmental damage. this is a great just act which demonstrates so once again, the brutality of rush also war in ukraine. the german government is leaving no doubt about who it claims for the destruction of the nova gulf could them. johnson, olaf, schultz said the following. this is something that takes on a new dimension, but fits the way puts in, is waging the school out . dw correspondent and emily shows and told us more about what we're hearing from russia on the damn attack as well. kremlin spokespersons meet his golf, spoke to journalists today,

and he vehemently denied that russia was responsible for the explosion of that dam . he said instead that actually ukraine is responsible. so shifting the blame there, and he said that he called this an active sabotage from the key of government. he also said that this actually showed that the counter offensive on the ukrainian side was not going well, essentially accusing ukraine of kind of desperately blowing things off because things aren't going well for them. um, and you know, just after that, the russian investigative committee actually opened up a case against ukraine for terrorism. so what we're seeing here now is both the ukranian side and the russian side accusing each other of terrorism. meanwhile, um, you know, the local people are actually going to have to carry the cloth consequences of this . and the russian emergency services have also now said that people should prepare

for an evacuation. and the kremlin spokesperson also said that there would be dire consequences for the local residents there. that was dw correspondence. emily show been fairly, i spoke, said, told me total of sub rumbles, the security analyst. at keynes coordination, london, she explained the military implications following the destruction of the can help could that what i mean? it seems obviously, the russians went to by mistake military law from this, from base charging on the breaking down because it makes a need for tension of 10 times that your brain is handle all 5 tossing a victory for a river on that on ponds in your area, so on the sides of pretty soon you know, very, very unlikely, almost impossible now. so, you know, that allows the russians to sort of concentrate more of their forces to the east and prepare back to for uh your premium and come to offensive have so although

there might sort of lose their 1st lines of defense, is that where i, on the on the back of the river, at the same time, the premiums from the ministry point of view if they have any plans of, of crossing the river of or if you find some of the islands atkinson river. now that is it's very, very difficult. so it's up to you for me. i mean if you're going to view it doesn't really demonstrate the ukrainians. i don't, i need to make any sort of attempt drugs on the front or i almost impossible. there, there has been some reports and recent days of ukrainian advances along the eastern front. where does the crating culture offensive spans now from your perspective? oh yeah, that's interesting one because you know that was i noticed yesterday that the, you know, we pregnant come defensive. got started but it, you know, i think there was no use, there was some, there was somebody pulls the russians were talking about the trainings trying to advance on 5 different points of fact uh you know,

um the ukrainians are noting that they had advanced uh you know, yeah, you know, around the move to the know listen to the song that sofa. you know, there is very little sort of news on information coming out. there is a big over sort of assignments from the ukraine and side. and we haven't seen any sort of major problems yet, but i think what they're trying to do now is to sort of try to find the weakest points on the entire line of all of confrontation to see where they can push forward. so i think it's, you know, it's, it's, it's difficult to know, and we have to wait for a few days to see if this is really the start of these major come to offend safer by ukraine. i think these are these of the collapse. so the guy i'm, i'm do you know that the whole too many, terry and these off to approve me or, you know, temporarily may, may sort of hold debate to that that they are bronzes because the concentration might be on our pricing. these, these charlie and drums and decide how to, how to reorganize our the offensive. so i think we, we have to wait for

a few days to know if the ukrainians manage to find just sort of weak of points along the line of russian defences. where they come sort of trying to create a bank like stronger fired power. right? that is still mentor last several most so from king's college in london, we appreciate your insights. thanks very much. i. and so we some feasible was largely confined to ukrainian territory, but it is now spilling over into russia's southern belgrade region incursions. they appear to be the work of freshman militias, fighting against letting me put in racing. it's not clear the how much control key of has of that those groups, if any, the w suppose to a full. and the russian politician who now represents the freedom of russia legion minissha, one of the russian paramilitary groups fighting against russia by the russian munition members taking on the kremlin fights as from the russian volunteer. cool,

claiming this video that they now control the village of nevada, tablo shanta, in russia's belgrade region. another group, the freedom of russia legion told dw, they were attacking the russian city of shit, back in a nearby now. and so if you surely we are totally on our own so, so we are not a guided by ukrainian military is able to provide the information that don't supply the to ration. we use the web post up with a q with our cells. and so during the previous flights, the freedom of russia legion says this trend video shows that members moving through russian town, attacking russian territory is a sensitive topic for ukraine. and it's back cuz you're up in the us, have been slow to supply ukraine with offensive military equipment. the fear of it being used on russian soil. but the militia says the, it's weapons that come from you crazy and stores, at least not directly of all the equipment. so serious equipment that those

guys are using. they will work for your. it's during the fight, you know, new cranium territory or uh, even the american equipment was previously lost by ukrainian forces. i'm them, they was repaid by our, our troops. and the thing that we think during fighting with pushes the, the, with the units they stay with the regiments that's, uh, that's the. so that's why they have, for all the different pieces, but pretty limited and clear. obviously, this was something that's was rushing me the coupon. so the banks out of most vehicles now which i, because i'm bmt is the uh, the all that are russian state tv shows the off the mouth of the attacks, the freedom of russia legions sides. they want to build a new government and what they called, liberates a territory. but for now they wants to take control of this area and face

a fight to keep it. they think that the time for a long violent socialist is over. and when would you matter which i'm astonished at the completing of their on ukraine in february of last year when to you started the doing. yeah. you know some people when he's taught for destroying another country, he eliminate this over the years. now there is only one way is to destroy the dictates, or we cannot convince him to stop. he will never stop. it come to stop only with force, but it's not clear how far these grapes will go and that battle against the kremlin . and has a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the international court of justice in the hey, has begun hearing the case both by ukraine seeking reparations from russia. k of once the top you in court to order must go to pay damages for a mean rep on, excuse me, rebels is eastern regions in the is before it's 2022 invasion. russia has previously

. it's not the quotes findings from wondering if anyone has unveiled an intermediate range, ballistic missile, which it claims as capable of travelling at hypersonic speeds. president abraham, right, you see said the width and we'll boost the country's power up to turn as the messiah was presented to us, impose sanctions, and over a 1000 people and entities in iran, china and hong kong, for the support of tehran. it's been a trade program. at least 40 people have died and dozens are missing, following severe flooding in hierarchy, in the care of pnc heavy rain as we can cause floods and lance lights, and dazing thousands of homes and wiping all across the world. food program has one that heidi is likely to face for the disaster in the upcoming hurricane season. and germany wants to strengthen its securities highs with india daily's. the latest

stop for defense minister bars, the stories on his total of the asia pacific. he's been using the trip to expand germany security rule in a region far beyond its backyard. joe means defense, minnesota z. the warm welcome and daddy, as he met with his indian counterpart charged on seeing the story is on a mission to bolster miller people operation between the 2 countries and defending jeremy's presence in the pacific region. of applying the advice we are planning a big joint exercise with the indian forces in the indian ocean next year. these are important examples to make clear, and germany is present here and considers itself a partner in the pacific region who participates with the lender here in that a goal. but this meeting is also about the weapons. the story is met with the representatives from the german alms, industrial and delhi in the plans to invest more than 5000000000 euros in more than

i think it's submarine feet. joe means defense minister showing support for such a deal. the finding law negotiations are ongoing and the german arms industry is well placed in this race down the point is a single, the german government supports it to as part of our strategic partnership. and as one of the world's largest armies, traditionally, it has been heavily dependent on russian on supplies, but an increase in german involvement contribute to defendants in the long run. well, the www is chief, political correspondent, nina has, is travelling with the german defense minister. here's what she told us about his visits. the bar is the story is the 1st step in defense minister to visit india since 2015. both countries, germany in india, c to the as important strategic partners. and they do want to deepen collaboration and they want to extend that to an intensification also in the military and the

defend 6 to. because as far as the story is argues that this is the region that is going to be shaping the 21st century in germany, and europe can't afford to miss out on that. and it is something that is fine. so he said, for due political stability. so there is a need to rethink some of germany's long standing principles for his disorders says, and maybe we can just listen to what he said off the he met his indian counterpart . we totally agreed about the german and europe and wrote in the in the pacific. we agreed that the more engagement of europe and germany is necessary, especially odd, joined, exercise, next year. really had been appreciated by him. and we were both of the same opinion . we need more cooperation. not only do it by exercise is also by defense of industry defense argument cooperation and we are working on it. and of course,

i think we should and we can and we ought to do more in that region that into partnership with india. because we are approaching times, we can't really predict what is going to happen in the next 2 years. and we need a strategic populace like indonesia, like india, for example, especially and mean that the story is mentions defense, ottomans, cooperation. they, we know that india relies heavily on russia for its defense equipment. is this is germany seeking to change that as well. but as the stories told me that in an exclusive interview that i did with him in jakarta or on monday. but it's not in germany's interest for india to be so dependent on russia's imports. and we mustn't forget that india is the world's largest importer. and so they go to countries actively seeking those inputs of weapons and germany's sometimes seen as being a too restrictive. when it comes to this question,

so far as this tories is urging gemini to re think it's an export policy. now these rules are pretty strict, but he says, discussions are ongoing in the german cabinet, and this is vital so that germany can be seen as a more reliable pano. it will. so when it comes to defense collaboration, we'll just pick you up on that. note that is to many seen as a reliable parking in the region. yes, when it comes to trade. absolutely, there is no doubt indian companies are trading with german companies. indian young professionals of looking to germany because they rely on germany's expertise. they see it as a vital market in the european union deputies recognized for its strong position as europe's uh, economic ends. and when it comes to defense, like i say, some of the expo policy rules are pretty restrictive still. so this is something where india will then turn to other countries, and at the same time, of course,

there's no doubt that indian companies, when you talk to them, they say we would definitely get more honest, have germany, if any, they would let us. right. that is the w's chief, political correspondent, need a hasn't reporting for us and daily. she's currently travelling, but germany is defense. minnesota, of course, the story is, as he's on a to in the age of this, in the pacific region. thanks very much for your reporting. mean at his a reminder of our top story here on dw steven most of the are accusing each other of blowing up a major damn and a control it russian control class or something. ukraine. officials in the area around the nova calls for them have to pay this phase of emergency evacuations are underway, residents, downstream, you're watching these. i mean, is coming up next on the news. asia, how culture and young people are contributing to improve relations between south korea and japan. don't forget, you can always give data, be news on the go,
