would with an agent environment to reach out to distribute the aid in a more systemic organized way that would mean a lot and would look to see the people's lives over the next days. and we hope it wouldn't happen because he but tv cares country director and romano. thank you so much. thank you. and we can now take a look at some of the stories making news around the world. flooding has prompted the evacuation of more than 90000 people and cause i've done. the searching waters have resulted from melting snow and the euro mountains. officials say they plan to evacuate thousands more of flood waters rises over the next 3 days. big parts of russia that border the, your old river have also been effected. the top chords in the united states, the state of arizona, has reinstated in 1864 abortion band and bars. all abortions except when necessary

to save a mother's life. many activist and lawmakers have slammed the ruling while the states democratic governor called it a dark day. the wife of jailed kremlin critics let him hear. karl morris gave me a car a more that is calling for prisoner exchanges to secure the release of her husband and other political detainees and russia. opposition politicians let him your car on moore's that is currently serving a 25 year sentence for accusing russia of war. crimes in ukraine. it's the harshest known sentence that's been handed down so far for speaking out against russia's war of aggression chrome or is that who was also a british citizen, suffers from serious health problems, which his lawyer say were due to, to poisoning attends, orchestrated by russia security service or and i'm please we to now welcome you have given you a car on more so who joins us from the european parliament in brussels. welcome to the w. it's good to have you on the show. now what do you know about how your

husband is and the conditions he's being held in? hello, thank you very much for having me. thursday. for the last 6 months, my husband has been housing solar. she confinements of a disciplinary cell in a so called special region please, and call any which is the hush is grades interruptions and essentially system in west and 5 year in about 3000 kilometers away from moscow. and his sub bed is the fix to the wall from 5 am to 9 pm everyday. she only has one backlist who is the only piece of furniture in that. so the only thing she's allowed to keep in the cell are in mog, a tooth brush. a bar of soap to towels and 2 books. he gets an hour and a half of reading or writing a day when the letters and pen and paper brought to him. and he gets

a 90 minute daily walks again a small courtyard. where is he again does not see any one and has absolutely no human contact except for with his lawyer a couple of times a week following the death of alex, a nevada me earlier this year. how concerned are you about your husband's health and safety of the the vile and brazen murder of all explain of all name. i'm afraid did not add to my tears because i've been afraid for my husband's slide for many years. my husband has been in the opposition to live them and for $0.10. why don't switch and came to power over 20 years ago, and my husband survive to assassination attacks on him. thanks to an independent investigation by dialing caught the inside and display go. we know the names and the faces of this s a c or partition would been following him before folks attack. the 1st attack happens in 2015,

only 3 months off to the assassination of forest himself. on about some of chris could bridge and moscow. and since then, of course, i've known every single day of my life and my husband's life is in grave danger. you are continuing his work while he's in prison. you're advocating for him and for other political prisoners in russia. you yourself live in the us, but the kremlin is notorious for it's long arm. do you feel safe? have you been targeted for your activism of the know, watch on several of my colleagues. amazing. strong fighters have already been targeted over the past couple of years outside of russia. it does not mean that it will stop us. we understand what we stand against, and i understand that the best way i can help my husband is by continuing his work

. my husband has been a powerful voice on behalf of political prisoners in the russian federation. so many years. and since 2010, he's been fighting for the introduction to all of them with needs to legislation around the world that imposes sanctions, personal and targeted sanctions against human rights violations around the world. and i believe that this work has to continue, especially now for as long as y them are present is allowed to stay in power. more memory will continue and refreshing in the country will continue the only guarantee of peace and stability of being on these continents is a democratic restaurant. and then on the for that to happen, the resume and it's, i'm in my fault. but meanwhile, we need to make sure that those who are opposing vitamins, which is receiving today, both inside and outside of the country, those hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners and hundreds of thousands of russians who left the country because they didn't want to be complicit in the war

and continue working from outside. we need to make sure that's all these people survive to be that when division collapses and they can actually build a democracy. now, country, you mentioned the hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners in russia. they are how successful has flooded mir boot and been in silencing the sense by imprisoning opposition. members, leaders, speakers who, who oppose this policy. uh, to put it shortly. just like in the soviet times. anyone who opposes the official meritus and portions of all sides is being portrayed by the regime as a spy at criminal, at trade or at foreign agents. and its 3 missed a terrace, or an insane person. so the regime has brought back the anti arsenal of soviet style, repressive techniques that include beauty to psychiatry, physical and sexual violence, assault in 0 prison in terms of 10162225 years. for the

defense. for speaking the truth for rejecting the official narrative forced on the people. so at the level of oppression in the country is solely tried me according to memorial, the as much as most respected human rights organization and how laurie it's open nobel peace prize. the number of police co presents and ross and our approach has 700 people and those are very conservative estimates. as memorial itself says, it says that the actual number of the political cases in the country is twice and 3 times as high. and according to every since the investigation media investigation that has the more politically motivated trials during light importance for so alone as the on the soviet leaders need keep the for soap and then you've been if

combined. yeah, we don't have much time, but i do want to specify what i wanted to know is if by imprisoning those opposition figures, is he really taking their voice away or is he being unsuccessful? because people like you are speaking on their behalf. i don't believe that you can silence the truth, i believe just like my husband's. that's the same. the dictators are most afraid of is the truth and publicity. so speaking about, so talking about these people who end up behind bars, naming their names and telling the stories is hugely important because not only provides them with some measure of safety behind bars. but it also allows the world to see. and i believe that these stories deserve to be heart. the stories of bravery, of courage, of human integrity deserves to be no. because what ludovic food is trying to do is

to destroy that alternative, that democratic alternatives to his regime. and these people are the faces of that democratic props without the we all want to see your parts of that phrase. story though isn't gimme a current more is the wife of and present the russian opposition figures flooding mir chrome was the thank you so much for your time and all the best to you and your husband. thanks to the war and ukraine. now we're keys says russia launched 17 attack drones and several missiles targeting the south of the country over night. officials say air defenses, we're able to down 14 of the drones and to guided air missiles. but russia is not the only party and this conflict heavily relying on drone warfare. ukraine is increasingly using domestically produced drones to strike back a brush, a deep inside its own borders. on tuesday, ukrainian drones hit the central,

tightest on region around 1100 kilometers from the countries chairs border. that was in one of the deepest ukrainian attack since russia launched its full scale invasion 2 years ago. keeps that the attack hit, a major over finery and the drone assembly factory. and while it's proving to be an important advantage for ukraine, the development is causing concern. not only in moscow, the w's keep corresponded and economy has more to the light aircraft without a pilot, but stuff through the explosives, it's, there were some drone factoring to test on more than a 1000 kilometers from ukraine. and it's not a one, of course in the dial resign. some are nowhere into europe inputted. russia say from ukrainian strikes. russia for its part has always been able to anywhere in ukraine with expensive cold war era. ballistic missiles that were built to strike the us. but the sense that ukraine could do something similar and hit russia fall from the front lines using you. meanwhile,

we don't have our own crews. ms. sites on ballistic missiles. what do we do have is west and supplied storm shadow or scouts in the south. for a tech comes in small quantities we was, but we are only allowed to use them against russian forces in your crane lashing, methodical way you pretty ukraine began using it's her maitre and state russian oil facilities like these last year. while the geography of the strikes is expanded, that chrissy was still limited. often enough. the drones reach the target but failed to make much of an impact. that's now changing was my idea. there are grounds for optimism. we saw footage of the ukrainian drone hitting a russian oil refinery. so you can see the drone closing in the engine making a turn to ensure the tickets target distillation call them. that means some of these drones now have navigation systems that enabled them to be my new bit into the targets this send me a lot. it's cheaper to what you'd see in

a storm shadow cruise, messiah storm shadowed up. and it's working. analysts say rushes over funding capacity is dropped by more than 10 percent since the latest round of ukraine enjoying strikes began early in january 2020 full. the grain is reducing versus oil exports to make it harder for letting me put in to finance his will. but this not only worrying people in the kremlin financial times reported that washington has requested key of still protecting russian oil infrastructure. fearing these attacks could push prices up for you as consumers and home present biden's, chances re election. us officials, including secretary of state mc, blinking, made a point distressing that the country has neither quotes supported nor enables ukrainian strikes on russian territory. children, but very room and income isn't social life. i think the strikes wouldn't be possible without wisdom intelligence information that enabled to crank to direct

these thrones around questionnaire defenses. we're getting that information and we're thankful for it. for all the fear in western capital's, these drone strikes could escalate to expand the scope of this war here in ukraine . many feel they have little to lose. their argument goes something like this. the westcan withholds ministry aid. well also asking key if not to use what it have ukraine, they say, what fight this war with one hand tied behind his back? well, how serious a threat are ukrainian drone attacks for russia? then the question i put to military analyst frank letter, which at the tactical level that's very serious, that you had that's what mr. roman and co who outlined exactly how things are done and what they've done with. so yes, the causing damage and you can see that when the americans actually state gets involved on the financial times of stating they, there's a strategic effect to it. there is that kind of effect as well. however, on the russian war efforts it is,

i think right now at the level of just above use and starts at the sort of highest level. however, ukraine is really majoring on these on these assets. they have announced just started this year, the formation i think, right click very and over to off on month systems for sp like space school. so the apples a whole new service. so that really makes you this. i see this is a massive competitive edge. and i tend to agree we've seen the effective had of course, as well in the black sea. so do you think they can help overcome ukraine's disadvantage on the battlefield? yes, you know what you're talking about 8 essentially an asymmetric approach. in other words, rest of right now has a bunch of manpower and, and heavy material, but the s that being put into the drug program from ukraine. and it's all lies in what uh, july sees coffee drove coalition, which includes many nato countries, notes of great britain in germany. you know,

that's really ramping up and is why i don't think it's all setting brushes. if i'm still the bustle fee of the i don't, i don't necessarily think it will own it. so, but it's certainly a major factor right now in the war. and so you can see the us, you mentioned the secretary state there. we heard them in the report, say they don't support nor enable ukrainian strikes on russian territory. and many other ukrainian allies say the same, but realistically, what ukraine even be able to attack russia without the support of its allies. and yeah, definitely the valley roman and codes, and tanya and realistic to expect that you can, can kind of will be doing this on it. so this huge intelligence and intelligence and other forms of information going into going to your credit. now, i've no doubt what sort of that intelligence is used to talking purposes that may not be active assistance and full of personnel, but in terms of intelligence. absolutely, there is those military analyst frank language there. take a look at some of the world news now. japan's prime minister for me because she is

in washington to hold talks with us president joe biden. they're expected to address concerns about provocative chinese military action in the pacific and discuss plans to upgrade the us military presence in japan. in hong kong, a fire and a 16 story building has killed at least 5 people and left dozens more injured. firefighters extinguish the ways that local media said broke out in a gym on the 1st floor. an investigation into the cause of the fire is underway. south grants are choosing a new parliament in a closely font election that will determine the president's political faith, even though is not even on the ballad. the result will decide whether you suck young can push forward with his conservative agenda. his party currently lacks of parliamentary a. majority opinion polls ahead of the vote, predicted it would be a tight race. if the liberal opposition wins, it could push for use impeachment. earlier, i talked to gratian. she's

a journalist with south korea's already wrong tv and soul. and i asked her how the 2 main parties are trying to win over voters. and this closely followed election. so all these parties are basically saying the same thing there or no corruption, they're trying to bring living costs down. they are promising a better future for koreans. one of their main tasks right now focuses on living costs. as you mentioned, insulation is always high. and as much as booting as seen as a referendum on present a use on your many experts are forecasting that the opposition party will take up most of the seats. and once again, use low approval readings, come from dispute. failure to stabilize living prices and accommodating to the publics basic livelihood needs as much as you still has 3 more years to serve of his single term in office. a progressive national assembly would most likely make him into a lame duck and to be more specific. if the d, p, or other liberal opposition parties occur over 150 seats, and that's half of those in the national assembly. the be able to slowly pass

budget bills and laws which is catching the attention of the public. if more than $180.00 were to be taking them, they would be able to designate fast track bills. if they hold more than $200.00, they could even amend constitutions. dismiss legislators and even impedes the president and know if i present you a speedo seeking office, present you and has to be to 9 bills passed by the national assembly over 21 months . and that includes 2 special prosecution acts which investigate the 1st lady can go and use a legit stop price manipulation and bribery suspicions on a development project and take on both whole numbers come to the province. so if we are to see the opposition party really take up, the majority of the office, the public's need and demand for anti corruption might be settled there. and before we go, here's a quick reminder of our top story. the muslims around the world celebrate the end of the holy fasting month of ramadan palestinians in gaza, or marking each under the shadow war your loss run. now,

ministry says at least 14 people were killed and dozens injured by is really strikes on the eve of the holiday, the access. that's the news for now, but don't leave us just yet. up next we have a look at the loss of old growth forest, critical for protecting the climate that's on close up after a short break. if it's the latest headlines you're looking for. there is of course, always our website and make sure to also fall off on social media oriental. there is really from all of us here in berlin. thank you so much for your company event as dylan will be here with more news in 30 minutes by the

it's time for new ideas. it's time to ask to save the giant, big, clean the air or the habitat of the many space. these are important climate protectors, but these forest joins are under the trend around the world. ready it's time to recognize that there are no styles. next on dw block, trade routes, networks, factories on height is critical. infrastructure is becoming

a target for people who want to change the rules of the game. there's a real powerfully going on for the global economy, or the shields going out and at what cost made in germany. in 60 minutes on d, w, the is increasing at reason many watching on black silver stars. the only work that is holiday destination drowning in plastic white at the cost every year, you're exposed me in terms plastic. why is there another way officer ruled, the environment is not responsible. make up your

own mind. d. w. made for mine's huge age old trees are a vital importance for our eco system. they help to sustain life on earth. my lifelong goal is to say fig trees. they are probably the most important bar and goes on the planet. but over the world, those big trees are under threat. it's high time. we begin saving the last remaining giants are for us.
