what's at stake. and shares and price as written property developer, advert grant wanted as an investors give their verdicts on the company at the heart of china's real estate crisis. we ask if they could rent a global economy, the hello employ richardson, welcome. after weeks of fighting ukrainian forces and broken through russian defensive lines and these out for reach are region to retake more territory. on monday it gives defense ministry, announced it had fully reclaimed the village of row boats in a south overbooked ne wise, the strategic city of talk mock a critical railroad junction for the russian military. ukraine has been pushing to reach the sea of as off and a grinding effort to cut russian forces in half and suffer the land bridge to crime . yeah. but these advances has been slow as they pushed through rushes heavily

fortified positions and vast mine fields. i spoke earlier to our special correspondent at you for him and she has more on what that victory means for the ukrainian counter offensive. right, claire, i mean this is a tiny village, not very dissimilar from other small villages that ukraine has managed to retake during this counter offensive. but the difference between this one and the ones that have been re taken before is that it is a little bit closer to towns like military called that ukraine hopes to reach. and that would, you know, and then make a huge strategic game in this counter offensive. so while it is itself, not of huge strategic importance, it's certainly brings ukrainian forces closer to that, to that strategic city. more south about 85 kilometers away. now i want to put this

particular gain also for our viewers into the larger context of the counter offensive. there are fears that be of gains in the south might be coming at the expense of the front lines in the northeast. i was just in coupons in the northeast just a couple of days ago in the hard key region were authorities of actually, you know, a told about 12000 residents to evacuated from that city about 40 kilometers away from the russian border. because in the past few weeks, a rush has been intensifying its attack on that area in the northeast and with that order is evacuation. we have reason to believe that the authorities are worried that russia might be advancing at north while ukraine is making gains in the southeast. looking back at the village were watching a. do we know anything about the humanitarian situation in deliberative town as well? this is all very new and very fresh. and so media in journalism, a journalist, access to the village is still quite limited. we have however,

seen videos released by the ukrainian military and particularly the units that have liberated a robot to me. and there you see the soldiers being welcomed by the residents who look like they are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. or people usually are the ones left behind or of not been able to evacuate from these areas. they're making emotional phone calls to their relatives elsewhere in the country, letting them know that they are safe. and of course, you know, in disbelief that ukrainian forces have managed to, to reach them. i can tell you a little bit about what i've seen from other liberated villages in that area. usually they're completely destroyed. it is a strategy of the russian military as their retreating to really destroy everything underway. and also to mine civilian infrastructure, to have the mind civilian infrastructure to make sure that it is difficult for um, ukrainian troops to really, you know,

redeem full control in that area. and then they would, they normally continue showing these areas that have been re taken by your premium authorities. so it's usually a very, very difficult time even after liberation. well, thank you so much as always for your reporting. that is our special correspondent. you for him, in case any thanks and more than 2000 kilometers away russia's war is also having an impact. the architect was once his own free of geopolitical tensions, but as plentiful resources and maritime routes have increased its importance for many countries. the crap, the kremlin, for example, has stepped up. its military presents there using the region as a test bed for advanced weapons and tomato countries are also focusing on the far north. our corresponded alexandra phenomena travel to norway, where the alliance recently held joint exercises of the s. so 255 to just taking all 4 training commission in the arctic. norwegians are

practicing together with their comrades from finland and sweden. lieutenant colonel metrics tells us, this drill is specifically for young a pilots to train a basic skill. the one on one duck fight between 2 aircraft. the reason we're doing that is a, it's, it's still an important skill sets, even though we have new airplanes with a lot of different sensors and weapons that are really good. but we still need to practice that skill set them. uh, it's a good opportunity to that on the success, especially now that nato is stepping up. it's focused on the arctic. it's a region rich and resources, and one word the alliance is facing competition for power and influence. make sure they're able to send that to. and each of those challenges have been growing 3 years. russia has been building up military presence in the region,

both on the grounds and etc. indeed, russia's influence spreads across half of the arctic. according to western sources, its military base has no out number of nato's outposts in the region. time and again are region 5 to jeff, scrambled to intercept russian planes in the to our space $26.00 times this year alone. or russia's movements in the region are of particular concern to need to know, at least since the kremlin order to invade, to clean. there was a real seer of the war spilling over into nato territory, seeking protection. finland has joined the alliance and sweden is waiting to become a member to. the swedish squadron commander tells us he's pilots understanding what's at stake in the arctic customer, the scenarios, the theme, the situation is really something else today, of course, then it was maybe 10 years ago. so we realized the importance of what we're doing

in our training, and everyone is very focused and their own the capabilities and also to build the defense planning with our neighboring countries. so that we stand strong together and by training together to know the nation's hope. there will be ready for any contingency and to have these corresponding jack parents told dw why the arctic is so important for nato members as well. mainly now is in response to russert as we had in the reports, the build up of the russian military bases. that's been happening in the all to take, but all of this is to do with the, the booming temperatures in the take. meaning that the summer sea ice especially, has been reducing. and this means that this now becomes a viable shipping re to trade route, which ships can go through which a much,

much quicker to take things from asia, up into your up for instance, which would otherwise have to go through the suez canal into the mediterranean. so russia has seen this as, as, as an opportunity, frankly, and the rest of the world is also understanding that this all take a shipping route is also a value to the russian moved quickly and i was seeing nathan member countries tries to move quickly as well also in, in the see with, with the, the ice cops melting. that isn't understanding that there's also oil and natural gas and precious metals, potentially palladium a nickel for instance. and so there's a real concern about what might happen on that. as we say, russia has moved fast and when i've seen the nato countries look into this and try and increase the military, build up and say that that the interest in the take will be secure. that was data. these jack fired reporting from brussels. we can take

a look now at some of the other stories making world news headlines. the sheriff of jacksonville florida says a 21 year old white man who shot dead 3 black people left behind a number of racist manifesto as he used a hand gun and an a r 15 semi automatic rifle, which he had purchased legally earlier in the year. despite having been involuntarily committed for a mental health examined 2017, the people in these areas capital have protested outside a french military base. some of them waving russian flags. a double line has now passed for frances in baset, or to leave new share under military orders. but paris has refused saying it doesn't recognize the hunters authority. local media as a power and water to the embassy has been cut off. and the french government says it's a band, a v as lumnick, a by address from schools the loose but in government is worn by some muslim women and girls, education authorities say religious clothing does not belong in the secular school

what it shows that the, the world's 2nd biggest economy is in pretty bad shape right now. we saw ever ground, which is one of the leading lights of a sector which are cancer by 25 percent of china's economy. property, the property marcus. it said it's coming back, investors don't believe us. and under sharefile's, nearly 90 percent of one point. and it's an overall bad signal for, for the chinese economy because of a lot of the problems that have faces at the moment have to do with dash those too much on the property sectors of particular particular victim of this is getting more international perspective on this as well, what is a slow down? i possible slow down a china going to mean for the global economy? well, i think it's causing alarm bells to ring around the world because everyone was expecting i think chinese grow to account for about a for about a 3rd of overall economic growth this year, which is a lot. but what you have now is the china is nobody's buying chinese import state that, you know, germany is, is struggling with this. um, everything from um,

construction materials electronics. all of these sectors are, are struggling. so there's a sort of contagion coming from, from china, which is spreading to the world and everyone's looking around for different markets . some places are going to be worth it than others. possibly, europe is much more exposed because it's much more intertwined with china. whereas the u. s is much, much bigger as a domestic economy, but it's certainly causing alarm bells to ring around the world and to be already have a sense of what beijing's response is going to be. how is china planning to deal with the economic slowdown? well, a lot of what we're getting is political, and a lot of this is tied up with the, with the, with the rude and communist party and she didn't paying who hasn't really given my many indications of what direction he's going. china doesn't have the money to invest its way out of trouble. so what it's doing is it's calling on the chinese consumers to start spending money. but because a lot of what they're, they're used to investing in properties. so this in some ways as a circular problem and it's a very, very difficult one at to address. so we're gonna have to wait and see what sort of

measures the chinese government come up with to deal with this emerging problem. but thank you so much for joining us to break that down. that is it due to the business as clifford couldn't well, red hair don't care that we've the spirit at a festival in the netherlands this weekend. we're organizers say some 5000 natural red heads meant to celebrate their hair and to take a stand against bullying and prejudiced for their fiery locks. the festival began in 2005, and this year people traveled from all over the world to attend, including germany, israel, italy, and even new zealand. red heads make up between one and 2 percent of the world's population. and according to legend have way more fun. 6 6 the
