the, the, this is the, the news line from buttons thousands of people say a while 5 may of the great capital athens, 5 sizes, one of the dangerous conditions as the place spreads like lightning, pulse on the program, russian civil authorities, why the violation orders into board of regents this russian military forces popular ukrainian coast dw, is jonathan craig and looks at the highs and lows of the powers olympics, 2 weeks of high quality sport and out of us or how will these, terry stay and see? remember, take a look at the heroes, the iconic sites, and the controller stays over pollution agenda

the and she'll get a welcome to the program. a major wildfire spreading out of control on the outskirts of athens, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people under the 5 finances and military personnel have joined forces to battle ablaze. and the 5 started on sunday afternoon. strong winds and high temperatures, fueling the flames in the attic, a region northeast of the capital city. houses of cold fire and hospitals or the close does people flee the area. firefighters bottle aggressive mild fires as they sweep across forest and suburbs. newest of athens of the residents are also doing that bit to help keep the blaze at bay

phenomena. so most of the big randy hurts as far as this, where we grew up, it makes us very sub and angry and there are real risks to getting to close the flight and surround it. man, i couldn't see i hit the pine tree and this happened to dry conditions and strong winds have helped the fire spread easily. it is already engulfed. largest waves of woodland and olive groves over night. police have been helping elderly and vulnerable people evacuate from the west, effected there is a blanket of smoke from the fire is covering this often sub where residents are told to stay inside with windows locked grease is currently

experiencing the whole to some of the on record creating the perfect conditions for fires to spread this week alone off of the country is on the red deluxe. the wild foil has its well sources in russia have widened, evacuation orders into border regions as ukrainian troops press on with a major cross border inc. cash and governor of on district of belgrade has told the residents to relocate and evacuation or does have expanded in neighboring costs. russia says ukrainian troops of advanced as much as the st kilometers across the board. a surprise move, which regarding cost a month for largest, you trading in the tackle investment. so since rush is full scale invasion of ukraine began this process, civil defense ministry says searching people were injured when the ukrainian miss, so shut down by russian defences. tell them this residential building and course

more than 76000 people have been evacuated in the cruise. creech and as ukrainian troops pushed further into its territory. most of the people in 16 pieces of equipment divide. this is not a fast up production rather than us, and if it only the russian army claims it hits ukrainian units in areas up to 30 kilometers inside its territory. it released images of what it says strikes on the ukrainian tank in the quick region on the weekend. keep acknowledged being caution on russian territory, which began last week to show who would name today to monitor and changes ascii has already reported several times on the front line situation and on our actions to push the war out into the aggressive territory. i think every unit of our defense forces that make this happen to you says a dispatcher in ukraine. the offensive has provided a boost in morale and to the will way we population. even as many of the russian

border are forced to leave the homes for their own safety. what do i feel great, really good. let them find out what it's like because they don't understand what toy is, how you will let me get a taste of it. key however, has not explained its strategic aim with the incursion into russia, but ukraine's attack on the cross region draw away attention from other from the line areas. but russia appears to make float, but sustained advances that correspond to nick connelly in cave gave us these updates on the ukranian offensive. we were expecting that almost the weekend. we would have a better handle on what exactly is going on and could reason. but it seems more or less to be the opposite situations. we've had to clamp down from original authorities on civilians posting stuff, social media. so those videos we had in the 1st few days of destroyed rushing me

a kind of convoys. those have stopped similar situation with the so called mid a cheap logos. these bloggers who are close to the rest military who were pretty uh, you know, kind of panic and obese. beating the drum that the russian government wasn't taking the seriously. the 1st few days they have gotten down and pull them into line and hit the crane. so i just keep you very tight lipped when we do get stuff posted by ukrainian soldiers. it often seems to be a couple of days out of date, but does still seem to be the case. the ukraine forces are about 30 kilometers deep, interested in the quick squeeze. and we've had reports of incursions at other places on the border and build the region and other parts coast region. and there is a sense that the ukraine is on a role. we've had reports by another saying that russia had built defenses in this part of its border with ukraine, but the, it's just weren't enough boots on the ground and enough of munitions and other equipment that actually make those defenses work. so basically, once the crating of soldiers had passed those boats defensive lines, they could basically take much territory as they wanted and didn't really find much in the way of russian soldiers. and if there were that they would most likely

conscripts, people in the early twenties with no me a fighting experience in the front lines who weren't able to put my put up much of a fight. as many commonly in cave well front language as a form of a military intelligence office, i would not elect chosen strategic studies at portsmouth university in england. enjoys us from oxford. welcome back to the w front. what do you think is behind these ukrainian incursions? well, good morning, it does say now that we're looking at a major and caution of about 5 for gates. so up to $50000.00 people relevance of 5 per game. so not only that, but they are well equipped. while equipped with alexis, west of gail tillery rocket systems and so forth. so this is north, north, a sort of rated force. that's the 1st thing. so what's the purpose? well, it seems that the primary purpose, which is succeeding is to shift the narrative shift the story message that ukraine is capable still, despite the pressure of the south,

off conducting effective off offensive operations. so it's not set the political level, the capable still of effective assaults on rush, no rush reports as the stabilizing. the fact we're talking about this in this way shows that that is succeeded, as far as it goes. okay, how does beyond that, how does it advance anyone's role games with you? the it's from what you said. it sounds like you crazy saying. we're still in the game, but the thing is still not locked in place to yes . and it's very early days to say where this will go. the main uh, so upper racial objective, they said strategic objectives to change the political story, change things, we're on the front foot as next set. but at operational level, i suspect one of the ups that lease was to attempt to, to know some of the attention away from the bottle of defense and the se,

but to throw rushing reinforcements. so a cobra's blessed say, look, how much do you really want to defend your territory? at the moment it seems that the russians are not fighting with respect to that they're not pulling forces from other places. i plenty of places within metropolitan russia, so not least by the way on the good news, which is the area of operations that the rest of that would be the printing. it says smashed into the headquarters of which is odd study felt the road. so that's pointing towards concave. once the trainees are fighting effectively to go to the other one can be a task. so the highlight cute is that if i'll be very interesting to drill pronounced, but it will be from that from the concrete front. no update, really under pressure, so the front, but we'll see the russians have made big mistakes before it would be a big mistake to do that in my view. also just one other thing, it does seem that there are opposed to the f s b, the federal security bureau, the okay to be a lot have been put in charge of running this operation as an internal security

matter. i don't know what the significance of that will find out, but really, this is already days in this week old operation. and it's too early to say how it will go, how it is an ton ukraine sustained this advance towards the belgrade and cask. that's the key question. when will that drive code? but i think with that or the of that now that's not necessarily a bad thing. if you kind of use out run out logistics. if they get too far into russia, if they got bought down, that would be bad news. i suspect that they planned this really well. they don't want to repeat the counter offensive last year. we're talking about hostile forces deployed in this attack as were deployed last year, but they would be far better, better prepared for this plan. putting planning will be far more realistic, so i suspect down likely to get both done. one option, of course, is just to come right out to get if things get get to get troublesome and then not get shipped. we don't know. but the one thing i have to avoid is running beyond the

logistics because people inviting rest today not find that it doesn't tend well and as ukraine in fades, russia can you see russia escalating this from the so called special military operation into an actual role. the concept of needing to do that, 1st of all, that would buy into the creative narrative. but secondly, they don't need to, they've got no problems at the moment with mom power. they're getting volunteers in, you can't, does how problems have manpower and i suspect there are certain views being expressed in the south and east of the country that troops are under pressure. that's why it is those 5 had brought up that back to the gaze of the i'll be happy deployed into the restroom and it could be possible usefully deployed to the south . so not the russians, i don't see them changing, not, but that's a personal decision. i complicate no. can anyone else look inside his head? why don't you credit not to effectively customizing analysis upfront?

can we thank you for it, ministry alice frank language. my pleasure. thank. when you cry and surprise attack inside russia came, is wanting bells with sonic of the russians. that economic outlook. official dates are released last week shows. russia's growth flow to 4 percent in the 2nd quarter of this year. some analysts think a hard landing might be fast approaching it's 25 years since let them put in power. and during that time, the russian economy has seen significant changes now developed in ukraine. and the international tax is starting to take a toll economic growth in russia. flowed from 5.4 percent to 4 percent. this quarter. things don't seem to rosie anymore. if we're speaking only about the fingers here, they are impressive and russian economic growth exceeding our growth in some developed countries like germany or united kingdom. but every time we're speaking

about the russian economy, we need to keep in mind what yeah, what, what, what do we have behind this growth? experts see this apparent growth being largely proven by on sustainable factors. massive state expenditures, for example, supply the ongoing board of ports against ukraine propping up the economy, creating an illusion of stability. the russian economy is now authorized on its maximum capacity and key ingredients of this gross soup is worth expenditures, which now i think it's in a 30 percent of the pre war levels. rushes economy for me looks like some like a marathon runner on steroids. and while the steroids words she's running and when they're there and the one these top he will fall as russia continues to reroute its exports from europe to asia and maintain high levels of mandatory

spending. the question remains how long candice might have to run or keep going. and let me take you back to our top story. those forest fire spreading towards the greek capital. athens definitely told us as a freelance to journalist that in the greek capital, welcome back to me. what did you see? a welcome go from. i've been greece. i'm just outside now heading to to the area of the one fires since yesterday, sunday, when the wildfire broke up outside of the capital of athens. it's been spreading all night and hasn't stopped at home and start. firefighters are on the ground. aerial assets were flying yesterday, they had to get stuff overnight. the resumed operation this morning. 32 aircraft altogether are fighting the blades. reinforcements have been sent from other parts of greece, firefighters of vehicles, to help to help fight these, this huge place. actually, that is spawning for 35 kilometers and it's still going on. there's some reconvenes

happening as we speak in different areas around optic, our, which is the why the region around the campus to look for grief. athens evacuations . multiple evacuations order since yesterday. they're still coming in, people are told to, to be to be on the alerts actually and be get ready to leap. there's been jim's opening even the stadium where we once hosted the olympic games 20 years ago. this stadium is open as well for people to temporarily go there if they need to. um, air conditioning rooms as well. there's also a heat wave at the moment. greece has been having these heat waves all summer as early as june this year. it's something common. we know it every summer in greece, but you know, now that there is extended period where this heat lingers on for, for longer time, for a longer period. and there's dry conditions. we haven't very warm winter,

but not so much rate actually very little rate. so all these, all these factors play into the activity and how the fire behaves, which is a, i'm at the moment raging and it will keep on according to the fire officials and the mature ologist the way and is strong and we'll be strong all day today and might be a bit better tomorrow, but we have to wait and see today is a very difficult way for right. difficult day for, for agrees. and people are doing us as i told all they they are leaving when told to leave well, most, all right, but in the case, is there a note, there's police officers and units up to the police that go the door by door and they actually ask people to leave or they order them to leave and tell them you have to evacuate. now you can't stay in your home or even help people who can't leave elderly people, people who that need some assistance to to leave their houses. it's also the middle

of summer here, so many people are away for a holiday. this week. also speak holiday season. we have a religious holiday coming on on thursday. but also these areas around athens are, are populated with the residents, greek residents, but also some tories that go because there's seaside resorts around. thank you for that. so definitely, i just definitely call us in athens. thank you. to define the dash we have political upheaval, has crazy new problems for neighboring india border officials on monday. so they directed thousands of bangladesh. she's trying to answer and escape the unrest. austin lee, the shaken statement has fled in exile to india. she had been a strong ally to the country as a prime minister under under moody is government must not decide how to approach relations with bank, but that's just a new interim government student protests. and we come street's demonstrations

against the government led to the posing of bangladesh, lead, shake, se not. and as he now face to india for safety, after 15 years of increasingly autocratic rule, nobel peace prize, we know how much eunice takes the reins of power. but these are peebles and doesn't rest, could threaten stability in neighboring countries, particularly india or bangladesh. she has a 4100 kilometer long porous border with india, which has long been concerned with threats of human trafficking and terrorist activities. along its frontier stays with bangladesh. delhi had been able to rely on, has seen as administration to ensure the security risks were kept in tech, prime minister, and arrange. i'm already had foster close ties with had to. however, india has also well come. thank you. this new interim government, and just yet to decide on whether to provide long term shelter to shake casino of to her arrival in india. last week of external affairs,

ministry has already explained the approval for 5 months. prime minister shake has he not to come to india? was given at short notice of the situation as you know, is still evolving as fit as mine with the she was concerned, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the fence scene. a slights to india has provoked anger among some bangladesh. she's too stunned neighbors. and since her departure reports say, hundreds of thunder that she can do is, can make up about 8 percent defender. this 170000000 muslim majority population have tried unsuccessfully to flee to india. we are also monitoring the situation with regard to the status of minorities, reports of initiatives by various groups and organizations to ensure the protection . and that will be, rebuttal comes out, but will naturally domain deeply concern the law and order is visibly the

motor guarding forces have also been instructed to be exceptionally allowed in view of this complex situation. along with monitoring its own folder, india is now having to adjust and adapt to a changing situation in bangladesh. less to into an expert on the region, 5 a heads south asia initiatives of the asia society policy institute. that's a think tank in new york city. welcome to the w, i'm just talking through some of the indian calculation when it comes to deciding whether to allows shy casino to stay the streets followed after the events of last week when 16 of both resigned and that's longer addressed as the minister of external affairs extra shrunk or said that she arrived on short notice and did not give him any plans of spinning or what the length of her stay might be rolled. she gets a little slow. i live on not what india did with it,

stood via it's brian and i'm in the moment, but there's law recalibration that needs to happen in light of how the situation is evolving and developing and bond with us. and india will take steps across and late, but for now, um she remains to be in denny. and um, and guys can be observing that it's in the interest of open to after, because they're not, it's for, it says a border of as long as, as long as there's has been in boston regional fox and will continue to be a regional boston regardless of what comes up and you have that and you would like to ensure that you manage its own sort of connectivity interest infrastructure and development to interesting economic interest and skilled your interest and forgot those off to work with a new flares that the interim government volt, right? but also once the big space and volume vision of new coming comes in, so that will be factored into higher, right? yep, we'll see. and the goal a weight situation under we have any indications about how bandwidth ashes the new

eunice lead a government will view india. there has been there conjectures about salts for me to read it, to the all positions on spot or b and b basically have you never been a strong and you're supposed to allow me to be going be all behind. i was more friendly to read some day on, hence that sort of strengthening of the relationship vector plays under chicken scene. is it or um and being the kind of love that in the outcomes they also pre elections last year heard of the service with the next to the place. so when the us government generates the opposition parties become stronger, they might pick themselves in. but give me, you know, india what's well with the, with the current symmetrical last in a longer dash and finds itself in on establishing itself as the, as, as a partner, as, as a country, as an important neighbor that is dominated by the people of bangladesh. i don't see a little challenges because palmer does, she goes to realize that it needs to stay in the lights. it's going to be one of the most policy initiatives it should be working on. and your will be an important

part that we said. garage gets bradley's gonna do that and uh, what about how this vis, vis political turmoil is being viewed by a to other regional players, china and pakistan as well. china, of course. what's the accurate and what's the relationship bond with ash have, has seen as a rule, and it has the most economic interest in the country. it has a lot of your political and strategic interest in the country and it's supposed to be monitoring stress. and as far as sparks on the spring, so you know, it, it also to the dar digital people, obama dash, you know, for social media and on the statements. and then it's also going to keep, keep, you know, you know, after all the stability in bangladesh would means to go entry. and the reason it's very important um, looks like you watch wise also, and we'll just seen in bunker dash as i'm talking implications for the different countries, especially those that are undergrad sooner. so don't wanna come on the challenges and also the like of to use right off last night as or sort of in the quantities

for us. and so how do you tackle that in other countries where you're, you have similar sort of potential for a movement like that. so the 1st neighboring countries to see introducing the domestic population and their challenges under drugs for most of the other quick. what then about what you weren't expecting from bangladesh is military in the hope for return to democracy. well as a bonus or she knew a tree, and the chief of army had said himself, they're taking temporary control. and we were. and as we've seen from the progress is the student brought us here to utilize the movement that they will not accept any army, let government. so we would hope that armies role is one that is a 6 voted to where it's a free and fair election process. and eventually a democratic government to take place in bung with asperger's. right. so the sustainability of she's instability. thank you so much. 5,

i'm from asian society policy institute. thank you. thank you. and the ending of the 2024, and then pick state w who's jonathan crane and paris now lays out he's view the tournaments highs on 2 weeks of high quality support. and now every of us or how will these parish games be remembered? so let's start with the highs. despite the heavy security and face of the country, the friendship embrace, these games stadiums have been most before. and the highlights of la on more strong have read 805 and the country. so like it turns berries for a bed for a week it's been magic here. it's been a success to john takes, has been amazing, obsolete mother had been able to share in that magic with the i didn't pick vintage, featuring a nursery for the very 1st time. legend free american springs that allison felix has been instrumental in that project. and my message to all the mothers as you are capable, you are absolutely capable to have your best performances. after childbirth,

parisians have seen the city transformed into an open stadium with eye clinic landmarks like the eiffel tower turned into spectacular venue. just don't mention this one, the river send pollution level is a constant worry for organizes with a trash on. on swimming, my recent events, most effective, some swim is even reported sickness. but the gentleman in story of the southern picks has been in the book st. competition, the mon kelly for vouch area, and taiwan. so when you think we'll both set to have failed 10 to test last year, i didn't pick rose meant they could still compete. but that participation has raised questions. i've offended the safety and inclusion in women sports coats in the middle of the books. this stuff is horrible. abuse on social media if you had and then i asked people to stop bullying all athletes. because this has massive effects. it can destroy people. and this, despite the negative attention versus kelly for ad lynn coating,

the gold medal fable say they've silence that critics for the why the debate will shortly rumble and long beyond these are the impacts. i don't live in crane in paris next on dw, global us looks at what the discovery of gas fails. i'll send a go means for the country's economy. the back of the top of the, the,
