4:01 pm
next by sir, welcome to the program. and we begin with breaking news from ukraine. we're 25. people have reported having been killed in the east of the country in the russian occupied city of den. yes. the kremlin installed authorities, plain ukrainian forces for selling a busy area with many shops and a market. there has been no immediate comment from the government in keith dw correspondent nick connelly in keith gave us this update earlier. so we have seen from sources from rushing up to but the final thoughts are there and, and yet they are talking of the 20 plus casualties and assume the number wounded. we are not able to verify those numbers. as you mentioned that there hasn't been any comment yet from the ukraine inside. it has to be said that this is pretty unusual if it were to work out in terms of the numbers. and it's pull the fact that
4:02 pm
it is basically on the front lines that has been so since 2014 seems relatively light civilian casualties, special competitive grants to my car. and the pro, this seems to be of being in a market on the west and sun city. so towards those front lines. and right now they're the groups and fixing things around on social media. so the expectation is that we'll know a bit more than the outcome. ok make, i want you to stay with us, but there was another incident i'd like to talk about in russia. i suspect the ukrainian drone attack has caused a fire at an oil storage depot. in the baltic sea, the terminal owners, that the blaze was caused by what they called external influence, and that some operations had been suspended. the port is located just outside of st . petersburg, ukraine, and claimed responsibility for 2 separate attacks on russian oil depos. earlier this week, and we will go back down to nick connelly standing by and key force. what do you
4:03 pm
know about the suspected? you craning drone attacks inside russia, which this, this could be a part i suppose of the we already have had ukrainian. the special service source is quoted in the press here taking results, visit us at the same as the official kind of hands up. but certainly that is the belief here. thank you. i think these targets have long been on the list. if you look at what russia has done to ukraine in terms of closing off, we're trying to close off the black sea, destroying the terminals need to see crane to exploit its green. and that by we can cranes economy its ability to pay for some of the tree. i think it's been cleared for a long time, but the cranes would try to do the same thing. and it's kind of protecting fulton, given facts, rushes, exports of oil and gas by pipelines have basically been very hard hit by sections, but the export by sea of oil, but also of a gas that has be like fight that is still going and is crucial to the criminal finances so that certainly has long been so many of you kind of tried to do and it
4:04 pm
does seem like this was more successful than previous attacks. we're seeing attacks when maybe a 5 was very localized. you'd have one reservoir fuel butting, but people more or less working in power though a few 100 meters away. that definitely doesn't seem to be the case based on the images on social media. we're seeing from that since, you know, still go in and what strikes me. nick is just how far this is inside russian territory. it's a 1000 kilometers away from tier to go to to st. petersburg. one. what does that tell us? i know it's early days about ukraine's ability is if it constructs so deep inside russia, that certainly also has been something that's be worked on a lot, something that was clear to the creating side would have to happen. attacking places alone, ukraine's frontier is, is comparatively easy, but it is also less politically dangerous the kremlin. but reminding russians as far away as pittsburgh, as you said, almost a 1000 comments away from ukrainian church treat that they are living and it was. and that is something that is going to be crucial for me to create
4:05 pm
a perspective for changing the mood and russia to get people could start with. this is something that could damage then. and that isn't just some kind of colonial war somewhere far away. but also into is have the ability to slow down versus one machine if you cranes on your pricing and that kind of 100 come to strictly on the board has been that doesn't really make much of any of an impacts, but most of versus infrastructure. it's economy isn't that european part of the country that it is within about a 1000 kilometers of ukraine. so certainly this makes a big difference. and there have been huge fundraising drives by ukrainian volunteers to try and come up with new tongues that okay, for making that kind of distance. and it seems potentially that this is what okay. nick connelly reporting for us from keith. thanks so much for those incense. the government of benjamin netanyahu face as mounting pressure within israel because of the ongoing conflict in casa and to the increasingly dire humanitarian situation. there. this was the scene in tennessee by saturday for thousands of people gather
4:06 pm
to protest against the countries leadership. they are calling for new elections. it's more than 3 months now since israel launched it's counter offensive in gaza after the unprecedented cross border attacks by her mouth on october the 7th. earlier we spoke to abby on. she is an american is rarely living in tel aviv to members of her family were killed in the october 7th. the terror attacks 3 others were taken hostage, 2 were released, but one is still being held in gasser. she told us more about what happened to her family. thank you for having me. yes, on october 7th, in the middle of the chaos we understood from family text messages on one side, that our family was hearing the fire, and airbag and people being killed around them, and that they were scared for their lives. and later that evening, when the military finally got to new, asked to keep up in which they lived,
4:07 pm
there were 5 family members were unaccounted for. and our, our working assumption was that they were missing or been taken hostage on october 8th. we had video confirmation of my cousins, son in the hands of come off, it was a video to come, us, indeed, uploaded. and so then we, we went to really what the, the notion that they haven't taken hostage tended into the world. we got confirmation that 2 of the bodies had been found not on the keyboards. and that my 8 year old cousin carmella down and her 13 grand daughter has been murdered by from us and 52 days into the war during the kind of big exchange of prisoners for hostages. my husband's 2 children, 12 year old areas, and 16 year old so turned, but their father of there was $53.00 remains on day $107.00 and a category. okay, well thank you for sharing that store. i know it must be incredibly painful to, to keep keep reliving it. um uh,
4:08 pm
just as regards the freeing of the hostages and the pressure that's coming along onto the government and these big demonstrations we were just reporting on. do you think that the government is going about freeing them in the right way? does there need to be a change in policy somehow? i think that there's some sort of split in. we're kind of people who believe that the hostages should be the 1st priority. and people who believe that the right occasion to come out should be the 1st barry, i think i as a member of a hostage family as someone who lives in his room. okay. bringing hostages home has to be the 1st period. there's no waiting. there's no success which i don't think there's winning in the situation any way, but there's no way for, for israel without the release of every single one of the hostages. a lie that day . and as regards the prob, protest and the hostage families, i was reporting myself recently in israel. and these have families are emerging
4:09 pm
political force that the government can't really ignore. do you think they're going to be able to have enough effect on, on government policy as i continued to demonstrate how so? i mean, we're, we're after a year of protesting in this country with regard to the usual forum. and i think in the aftermath of october 7th, we saw a lot of unity with which hadn't been the case. and i think now we're seeing this split again, which is these families are saying you have to punch the hostages. you have to put our family members 1st and, and the call for that yahoo does not reside. and for elections. i see that as, as early as we're in one of our hardest moments because we as a country law peace, we want a 2 state solution. we want to live next to a path to me and they that is being run by a government to acknowledges is always ready to exist. and the challenge of that is that we don't have a partner at that table. you talk of
4:10 pm
a 2 state solution. i know president joe biden has been saying that he still thinks it's a viable thing and he thinks that prime minister bitten then. yeah. who believes that as well. however, newton you know, just came out shortly after speaking with buying and the phone and saying best, not at all the case as an american citizen. would you like to see your american government do more to, to pressure israel to bring it around to that to that perspective you're describing, as i see. so i think it this way that netanyahu is the only one that's gonna be able to come to the table to, to make an agreement, to release the hostages, to this point. right. and so is by him and his government can help us get there then, and i can tell you is american, they are governments and united states has done everything possible to make is also supported to make american families of hostages feel supported criminal. my cousin that was my, it was an american as well, and they have shown up with full force. and i see american has always been strong partners and this is
4:11 pm
a time to continue to pressure israel to work in the right direction. and for me, as a citizen of both countries, that direction has to be the freedom of hostages, no matter what right now, that's the only step forward. and i think that's what has to be both the parents united states and for as well. okay, i mean, thank you so much for your time and for sharing your story and the honor of talking to us from tell of these things. and it's time now to take your look at some of the other headlines around the world. an asteroid burned over berlin in the early hours of sunday, creating a fiery trail across the sky, which you can see there. astronomers discovered the space rock and his trajectory just hours before to enter the earth's atmosphere. nasa has treated a warning referring to it as a harmless fireball. the congress
