with what we can conclude from what we have seen so far, that this was an attack on a civilian info on, on civilians. this was a city in the bright daylight of such a day with people on the streets and the good thing is $0.60 up at that time cannot be justified by any whatsoever military objects that might have been the almighty of not being there. this was an attack on civilians. it's not the 1st time russia has been hitting civilian infrastructure, residential buildings. often we often do not know whether these buildings are really the target, the dresser, aim dot, because there is a range of for me size and draw kids that have different levels of accuracy. often it might just be that they have just taken into account that it might hit a civilian object, but might have tried to hit something else. but several, besides, on this, as the center office city is of course,

and the talk that takes into account a civilian casualties. and that's why the ukranian service have opened a war crimes investigation on this. you know, meanwhile we understand that president zalinski went to sweden for talks. what or his interest there of the sweden has been the few support of your crime since the beginning of the boy was one of the 1st countries to allow weapons deliveries. if you remember, even before the war started written and then sweden together deliberate, these annual anti time granted that have proven quite effectively in stopping the russian invasion. and since then, a sweden has delivered quite a few uh, packages of alms and also civilian aid. so it is, of course, it is not one of the bigger countries in europe, so uh maybe in total amounts of these, um, uh, packages might not uh, be uh at the, at the top. but it's quite simple. uh,

it's quite impressive for such a small country. so um sweden is an important support us when it is on its way into nature. that's also something that you price is interested on. the similar things, of course, also valid for its neighbors. finland, for example. we do not know whether, as it lensky will return to ukraine after this visit or with the other countries on this agenda. often. many thanks, mathias dw correspondent, which is fairly good in keith. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. president vladimir putin has matthews top generals, in aware trip to russia is southern military command hub in real stuff on done. the kremlin said couldn't listen to briefings by the chief of the russian armed forces . the meeting came after keith claims some success on the battlefield. this week, us officials say the number of soldiers killed a wounded since russia fully invaded ukraine is close to half

has no right to conduct foreign relations. a historic try lateral summit with the us, japan and south korea has ended with a security packed and the pledge to step up core operation and other key areas. the meeting was hosted at camp david president, biden's woodland retreat. it took place against the backdrop of north korea's missile program and china enforcing its maritime claims in the south china sea. a new era of partnership between the us, japan and south korea, closing words from president biden, who hosted his 1st stomach at camp david's. the allies agreed to strengthen ties across key areas such as security, the economy and technology as tension simmer in the in the pacific region privilege . i want to start by expressing that our world stance at an inflection point. the

point where for call to lead a new ways to work together to stand together. and today, i'm proud to say our nation's or answering that call a call that is the diplomatic deadlock between japan and south korea relations between the 2 neighbors have been fraught for decades regard by japan's military occupation before and during world war 2. the growing threats from regional rivals, china and north korea have pushed the to, to open a new chapter. biden praised his counter parts for their political courage, while stating that vision was not the focus of the summit to both them are china obviously came up not just say we don't share concerns about the economic origin or height intentions caused by china. but this summit was really about our relationship with each other and deepening cooperation across on the tire range of issues and when well beyond just the media issues we read,

it was about more peaceful and prosperous in the pacific. during the historic meeting, china responded with a call for peace in the region and denounce geopolitical competition. typically, people will go don't talk to you, attempt to piece together various exclusive, small groups to bring confrontation in military groups into the asia. pacific region is unpopular, 50, those bound to lead to opposition from regional countries. back at camp david, the trio announced they will hold joint annual military exercises and establish a crisis hotline, a turning point and relations that could test a region already fraud with tension. the dw reported clifford coon and lived and worked in china for 15 years and joins me now. a clifford, the us president hale's disagreement as the beginning of a new era. your thoughts? while i think the choice of comp david is very significant. that's where the u. s

government does big deals. we had the israel egypt peace deal was broken there in the seventy's back during world war 2, franklin d. roosevelt hosted winston churchill there is it's always had that kind of, that kind of stays at. so i think there's an important message by having doesn't come, david dot add us, wants to nail down this very, very important regional partnership with 2 of its great allies in the region. japan inside korea who haven't always seen i to i, but in this case they now have sort of a common adversary, maybe enemies to strong in china and also with north korea to have japan and south korea come together like this was something many people thought impossible just a few short years ago. what changed? yeah, i mean, this week mark, 78 years since the ending of, of japan's colonization of south korea. so it's, it's, it's a big weekend and they've had a lot of issues. they always had issues about sex slavery during the 2nd world war, and a lot of residual issues from that and trade difficulties down the years. but i think

what brought them together is, 1st of all, the china has emerged as a major improvements in the region. and also north korea. the missiles that are being tested are flying into the sea of japan and they're flying over japanese territory. japan is extremely worried about north korea and obviously side korea is bordering north korea. and it's, it's, uh, it's still in the, technically, in the state of war. there's only an armistice, not a piece deal between the 2 korea's so i think these factors have, have brought them together and allowed them to see beyond their differences. we heard the us president, there are stressing that china was definitely not the target here, but undoubtedly, and increasingly bellicose. beijing must have been looming over these into or talks . you lived in work in china for many years. do you believe that the show of unity will deter badging or further hard and changing things military muscle? i think, i think definitely the chinese are very annoyed about this because i'm keeping

japan and, and side korea separate is, is in china is interest in terms of building up its military. if we look at the spending on, in the chinese military budget, a lot of it has been on building up its blue water at navy, which is, you know, for around in the region. and a lot of its focus is areas in the south china sea. but also areas contested by south korea and north korea and it's also seen as an ally of, of north korea. so definitely i think this is something that vision will not see a, something in its favor. clearly kuhn and thank you so much egypt. so president bill thought to l. c. c has pardoned several prisoners including a prominent pro democracy activists. ahmed duma. duma was sentenced to 15 years in jail in 2019 for writing and attacking security forces. he was an active figure in the revolt that over through president host new mubarek, in 2011. he's released from jail follows the pardons of

a lawyer and researcher last month. the egyptian government says it is redressing human rights issues to the pardons, but critics are branding at near tokenism and say that arrests still continue for more. let's bring in colored wood, a freelance journalist in cairo, a colored. what more can you tell us as well, this has been a long way to decision, and i mean, i'm not the besides being a journalist. i'm also a member of a condition of opposition parties. and since president gc called for us, so hold national dialogue almost a year and a half ago. we presented uh like uh, a few 100 names of the prisoners who've been held. whether either uh, on the basis of sense is they receive or who have been held in pre trial detention for many years. unfortunately, i'm a drama was one of those people who requested their release specially that he's been in jail for almost 10 years. i think in november he will finish 10 years.

exactly. now, as you've mentioned, these been a very well known young man, active and out of a lucian. i guess we bought our convince also by a very strong credit cards that most of the brother has loop at the short year, the state and power. but then again, it may take positive like a very long time until the authorities agreed to release off my drama. was a presidential pardon? and we still definitely looked for more. we still have the case of how that happened. but that was also been in jail. that for almost 10 years, except for a few months that you started outside before the judge, the deal again and also a number i please. so the people who are still held in pre trial detention, many of them are women unfortunately. and the additional authority is and particularly the egyptian president has been responding to our request for the release of people, but on a very slow, uh, rate and uh, within periods of time that actually are far apart from each other. so that's why we still have of sometime that word or some effort to, to exert in order to assure that it,

each of the other people who continue inside jail. and again, as you mentioned, to stop the arrest people because of the expressing their opinions on the social media. in particular, most of those in jail have been held for all those years simply for writing for interviews on social media, facebook or twitter or a media interviews many, many thanks for that. that is a colored wood in cairo to at the women's world cups. we didn't beat host nation australia to claims to replace with the material as unable to win the bronze medal, despite the backing of a sold out home crowd in brisbin. so we didn't went ahead when the video assistant referee rule this to be a file inside the box for you to lena wolf will talk to way the resulting penalty to make it one neil. and because of lower as lunney clinched 3rd place for the swedes with a powerful drive to neil the final score, spain play england in the final on sunday.
