a spearhead of the attack on the west capital. now there each facing more than a decade and presented. and the african union suspends go bonds, membership in the wake of a crew strongly condemning the takeover. we'll hear from our forest on the hello am i. richardson, thank you so much for joining us. when russell launched its full scale invasion, millions of ukrainians found themselves living under occupation and russian propaganda more than 18 months later. many ukrainians are still looking for ways to escape occupied territories. one way is through and in the land going into russia and then entering ukrainian controlled areas at the collections of come across the crossing in the countries, ne humanitarian court or lies between the ukrainian sumi region and the russian bo go try to reach and d w's abraham visited

a reception center near the crossing point and spoke with those who fled one side of a war to the other. they have a long road behind them. when russia attacked ukraine in february of last year, they suddenly found themselves under occupation. now they're back on ukrainian controlled land after a journey that last 2 days and 2 nights. the national will and it was scary at their check points on their russians and they do not consider us ukrainians as human beings. we didn't know what to expect from them. the change in that to so the women checking passports spoke aggressively to us, and that's, that's not seamless. ella endured a lot under occupation. her team son had to flee after russians beat him up for expressing pro ukraine opinions. her husband could not find treatment for an injury and had to stop working. then russian authorities threatened to take her 2 small

children away to a boarding school and pressured them to get russian passports. that's when i left field, she had to do everything to get away and borrowed money to flee a little nibble of him. and we didn't have any money to leave earlier. we were ukrainians at heart. i've lived here for 40 years. i cannot simply forget that to become a russian and swear allegiance to them. but a salary and something might between 50 and a 150 people, enter ukrainian control territory through the cold at the last couple. crawford crossing every day. only ukrainians are allowed and if they don't have someone waiting for them, they're brought here. volunteers give them food a police to rest and make a plan. the ukrainian border control also screens arrivals to read out potential sogba tours. this voluntary tells me that people coming from places like the net which has been under russian sponsored control since 2014,

are especially influenced by putting this propaganda. when they have to do much physics, it may a stupid hands that the americans admitted to the boys politics. some thinks the tough of the kind city doesn't exist. so they're moving and said it's run by nazis flu. but mostly they just need help. after leaving almost everything behind for people leaving occupied territories, this is the last leg of their journey back to their lives. they bore trains to key of hoping that whatever is waiting for them there is better than what they've left behind. i'm gonna show you, it's only fun the russians treated as bad today. today. they constantly put pressure on people. they force people to switch to russian document. so i'm to work for them. but that way, so let me try to wide coordinate. this is good use of i wanted to end as soon as

possible. i want to go home. i want to breathe freely there. what the, what are my plans? you, we were promised to aid with housing level, but you just don't know if there's a maybe we'll live somewhere on the floor. where's the usually the officials here tell us around $22000.00 ukrainians. have fled, occupation since the start of the invasion, even if they're 1st days living under a ukrainian flag are difficult. authorities who more and more will make the choice . people in this train has made lets me to a reporter who filed that report to data views especial correspond to abraham is just back from ukraine. she joins me now in the studio. hi, a i'm you mentioned there that some of those who are coming to ukrainian control territory. they've been under the influence of russian propaganda. and i'm just curious why they come to cleaning and control territories at all. if that's the case, it is a minority of people that are coming to ukrainian control territories. they, they're typically people who've been living under occupation for

a long time. there of course, the territories that were occupied at the beginning of the full scale invasion. but there are also people that have been living and separate is controlled. there is since 2014. so there are different levels there. but we know that across the board of russia and russian authorities really try to bring people that lived there ukrainians. they lived there under the influence center we. we convinced them of, of their propaganda. you know, why people come usually it's for economic reasons. we, you know, we don't really have access to what life is like under occupied territories, but from what people at the center told me, situation is very dire there. you know, they, some people told me that sometimes they didn't even have enough food. basics like bread, etc. so for a lot of people, especially old people who are living and occupied territories, coming back to her relatives in a, you know, in territories under ukrainian control is the most logical and most practical options that it can really, you know, cause a lot of tensions within families,

i heard of one family where the grandmother was living under occupation, but her grandson was actually fighting for the ukrainian sites. so it's really you hear really interesting stories of what happens once, you know, people were unite with their families who lived, you know, on the other side of the war. but we know, and you know, especially speaking to volunteers, that russian authorities really try to target people in occupied territories, but also people, they're living in the border region. on the ukranian side, there are a telegram channels that you know, send up messages like, you know, it's the ukrainians that are striking every time there's our russian stripe and so on. and often times people do believe that and it is somewhat of a challenge for ukrainian or forty's throughout this for the propaganda war and the propaganda front, but they're having to fight as well. so for those who do decide to flee, to get back to printing controlled territory, how hard is it to go logistically to russian authorities just let people go? well, there's no guarantee that they'll let them through. there isn't like a russian official statements saying, any ukrainian who wants to be from, you know,

occupied territories can, can, it can go to, uh, you know, the place that we were at. but for the most part it seems that they're letting women through. um, people that sometimes have issues are young, man, these are the ones that uh, people there told me get stopped and really interrogated in these check points and sometimes returned back and told you can't, you can't, you know, cross over. and so it's a vague situation and it's a, it's, it is a risk because there's no guarantee that they'll let you through the check points button. ukrainian, our stories are urging people that can take advantage of that route to do. so it's a human terry inquiry door in the, in the northeast where we were also so addressed students and so on a take place, are there other routes that ukrainians can take out of occupation? what, why do you think people choose this one in particular? yeah, it seems like it would be the more dangerous one because it's going through no rush or proper. but actually in some cases that's the most practical and shortest one. even though it takes 2 days and 2 nights with a bus and you have to arrange for,

you know, people to drive you and pay them exuberant, exuberant amounts of money to do so. of course, there are other ways that the people can't just go directly go west, because then they would go through, you know, the line and that is really, really dangerous. some people do go through that. of course there's, there's an option to go through belarus and then enter through european countries like poland and then back into ukrainian control territories. but that is often not an option for people who have no documentation. i mean, after living under occupation there ukrainian documents may have been lost, but at this particular crossing, people can come with as little as a birth certificate. and volunteers told me of a man who, you know, got identified through a speeding ticket which i had had in the united ukrainian database. so it's, it is dangerous, but somehow in this very messed up and difficult situation is perhaps the most practical for some people. well, thank you so much for reporting. we really appreciate you bringing us up to speed that is dw special correspondent,

as well as you crane appeals to its allies and the you for more military support. ukrainian president of order is lensky says, a ukrainian made west and has hit a target 700 kilometers away. and no further details were given about the timing coincides with a strike on a russian air field. on wednesday, the kremlin says 4 cargo planes were damaged. ukraine has launched a series of drone attacks on russian soil in recent weeks. let's go to the united states now where to former leaders of the right wing extremists group. the proud boys have been sentenced to prison for their role in the january 6th capital attack . zachary rail was given 15 years just hours after joseph begs received a 17 year sentence, prosecutors that they were t figures in the violence attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. fix this sentence is one of the longest handed out in the capital right cases. for proud

boys, members were already convicted of suggestions, conspiracy in may. and earlier we spoke to douglas correspondent janelle dom alone in washington, dc. indeed, the sentences handed down to joseph biggs and zachary rail are among the harshest. so handed down in these cases related to january 6 of which by the way, they are over a 1000 now. and this really has to do with the gravity with which the judge saw the rules and instigating the attack on the capital. so basically what the judge said, the judge in this case, timothy kelly said that this was a national disgrace. that january 6th, a harm to the convent and american convention that supported the rule of law and the constitution that an american tradition around the peaceful transfer of power

had been broken and has been lost. in the bigs case. he cited a big's role in tearing down barriers that allowed writers to search forward. and to him that was a meaningful and deliberate step to disrupt the electoral vote ongoing in the capital. at that time and the rails, casey cited how rail sprayed police officers with chemical irritants. now both man cried in the court room. biggs said that his daughter needed them. real said that he regretted his actions, but again, we're looking at 17 years for bigs. 15 years for rail, and that represents so the 2nd and 3rd harshest punishments needed out for january 6, respectively, with the harshest punishment still going to be oath keeper stewart rhodes, who got 18 years janelle, doing long reporting there. and we can take a look at some other stories making news around the world. to super tice on cell

uh 5050. yeah. so yeah. so can you dont have suspended pickup on onto the restoration of constitutional for that? and he says that they actually can, you know, tell you how they get into having a bit of a stray showing uh, with the kind of coupons that they've got a good 1000 places like need a modeling booking at 5. so you need a now got boss or a box it once too many uh for the attic and you know, right now when it comes to cruise across the continents. yeah, you can imagine um, how do you think this suspension is going to actually affect events on the ground angle on the, on the, the tricky part. okay. it's uh not clear how this uh, uh, will effect that uh, things on the ground go. i got boned, don't forget, this is a country, it just about that. so median mostly by just about 2000000 people in the country. so they'll also be having a bit of science and so on. so i will wait to see how it happens because it's too very much any days since that is good, isn't it?

you take over, it's a country that has seen lots of, you know, democratic rule a day by just one family. and so maybe yes, uh, as a sanctions guy, as the day is good about that we've come back, we'll see how we does. we got big things on the ground based tool. this, that you all week. i experience for many people on the goss incentive rate's in the alpha alpha on the bulk of as i put this into a wider perspective for us, you've mentioned there's been a string of cruise in western central africa in the last few years, including you share at just this july, how does this one and go on differ from what we've seen so far? yes, it means it many cents is quite different. the only similar thread, it's another united francophone for my friends calling in that that, you know, that has the, it's needed in place. but other than that, it's different because it's not the prices of insurgency applied by to me. so i mean, how does the most we see based on that book and across the money? i need a uh, the status on monday for station of the people uh only being ruled by the one go

dentistry for over 50 years. and also this dispute in highly consensus elections that happened on top of it, which then also began declared value. but i'm gonna ask, it will not be for the military adjustment is made that's occurring. so uh, the biggest thing is i actually bought a huge warranty from because as quite specific uh for the, uh, got one of these people when it happened, he was wanting to get taken out of, uh uh, you know, fight to new search and see what they want is the change of the old guy they've been used to, i know they've gotten into the bumper dentist, which they don't want anymore. well, thank you so much. as always for reporting that was data we used, correspondent august central coma reporting from laos. south africans are relaying from a building fire in johannesburg that resulted in the deaths of at least 74 people, south african presidents around the poor. so has this blamed what he's described as criminal elements? for the conditions in the overcrowded building, he said gangs that exploited families living there and demanded extortionate rents

. authorities are now investigating what caused the fire to friends and relatives stand behind police tape down the street from the apartment complex, wondering, hoping, praying that their loved ones are not among the dead pulled from the building. in one of the deadliest residential fires in south africa's history, the scarcity of affordable housing and johannesburg has led to several large squatter camps in the countries most populous city, like the one where this fire broke out. what i know, my familiar west the sides. when i come here, i try my best to find them i 5 minute i never found one of them. the fire broke out in the middle of the night, leading to terrifying scenes with some jumping from windows to escape, while others remained trapped inside. hours later, the flames were still smoldering and the human cost became more clear.

during the visit to the site, south africa's president called the fire a great tragedy. we've got to go to the bottom of what caused this fire and also address from now on. it's a wake up call for us to begin to address the situation of housing. he says the city on building one's house a shelter for women. but when that lease expired, the building was hijacked by criminals. as he put it. criminals who then levied events on the, on founder of people and families who need and want accommodation invested in the city. poor people. yes. needs to live in the city. but that needs to be older. that needs to be law and order in the, in the city, run the oppose the promise of full investigation into the causes of fire,

as well as the hundreds of derelict structures in johannesburg that are illegally occupied of the. let's take a look now at the struggling of german economy. 2 consecutive quarters of declining economic output, spelled recession and g. d, p, has stagnated. at the level of the previous 3 months. the important economic indicators are pointing in the wrong direction, and economists are worried. it's not just the economists, ordinary germans are also worried and pessimistic about the future, which could spell trouble for politicians and fears of a far right serge. germany is once again being called the sick man of europe in the press and with economists concern as mounting that the countries current economic slump. is it just the fluke germans are well aware and the tad pessimistic a new poll shows that 70 percent of germans agree that the economy isn't doing well

and almost have think that in one years time things will be looking even worse. recent data points to a stagnating economy in the 2nd quarter, which failed to recover from a recession earlier in the year. high prices brought by geopolitical tensions and the effects of the war in ukraine are impacting businesses and households by someone's who left it. what i see is that people are saving money because they are afraid of the rising prices because this month so you can see it in the consumption level. so it's all isn't. so goals are concerned just to think of what i do, think about it on when i listen to child. so shots, ok, i can hear his words, but i don't have faith in the global as germans increasingly worry about the wellbeing of the economy. they are also getting more and more frustrated with their governments of almost 80 percent of those polled say they are unhappy with the government's work so far. a 10 point increase compared to

september of last year on all 3 parties in the governing coalition, the business friendly f t p. the social democrats and the greens are seeing their approval rates dropping. but there is one group that is currently profiting both from the economic uncertainty and from the dissatisfaction with those in charge. it's the far right as the party. it is booking the trends and keeps rising in the pools now, sitting comfortably in 2nd place, even ahead of the social democrats, the party of chancellor on up shorts. let's get more from our chief political editor mechanic of non mikaela, these 3 parties and governing germany and coalition. together they wrapped up a 2 day retreat this week where you were important for us to think. i managed to put a pause on the in fighting and find some solutions to help boost the economy as well . they claim that they did, there was a 10 point time issue,

promising tax breaks after all, a germany was labeled as sigma in europe by the economist magazine once again, decades after using that label, the 1st time around. awesome germany appears to be missing out on the growth in major economies across europe. and it's very disconcerting indeed for the current government of german chancellor oil. i've sold that sticky. his social democratic party isn't really seen as the potty, a perceived to have the most competence when it comes to fixing the economy at the moment. that's the opposition. conservative cd you policy on glom ackles of policy, who of course is the full. but hans, the still just an ordinary member of her own potty and that is something he has to overcome and not just portray an image of dynamism, but also keep the economy happy, which is losey complaining about the lack of skilled labor and to high energy

prices. and what's the return to this in fighting? and so who might possibly benefit from that? we saw. that's one of the parties waiting in the wings and moving off in the opinion polls as before, right? a f d party. what are they offering voters as well? they are offering voters and it's in their name an alternative, if they're unhappy about the performance of the all the policies of the a. if d is the one, the time to this satisfaction pays in to their polling accounts. and let's just look at the current opinion polls. if there was an election this week, it, this would be, predicts it to be the potential result. according to the latest polls, i do see that the social democratic policy there in red is by far the strongest policy still in fact, red, green and yellow. that's the current coalition and are in places it's $34.00, and $5.00. and it's the truck was the blue policy here, the fall, right?

a if the policy that is upward of 20 percent, with the conservative cd you currently in the lead. so if there was an election, we would unlikely see this coalition a getting together and forming a government once again. and to the far right, a if d is many say pay affords of its, of previous potential above 20 percent. but in some eastern states, particularly, which are seeing retail elections coming up next year, they are even upward of see percent. and that is the challenge for all the policies that they say they are taking onto rain in the rise of the a, f d, which is due to no one's an antique immigration and anti chains to drum and citizenship. because in future will be easier to have double citizenship campaign only next week. so the forward sd, it was launched on an t migration,

and it seems to be re discovering this issue very successfully at the moment. well, thank you so much for that analysis, that's dw as chief political editor. how that goes now. so as far as quickly before we go, and you a far has announced european footballs, players and coaches of the year for both the men's and women's game, the women's play of the year. spanish and world cup and winner. i cannot win. logic was support for her teammate jenny out of most so it was forcibly cast by the countries as a president after the world cup final. meanwhile, manchester cities early holland now the award for men's flare of the year. so and it was serena vig man who led england to the world cup final who won the women's coaching award. and she dedicated it to the spain team. brothers and pep party will let us amends award after taking man city to the trouble of league cup and champions. we've titles and the draw for champions league group stage has teed up
