the, the, this is the, the we news line from berlin. ukraine says the sooner russia agrees to peace, the sooner its cross border incursion. will em ultimatum comes as one to reboot and order as massive valuations in the cursed region. presidents and leaving as tang and true reinforcements move in to find all the ukraine in advance. also on the show, the european union sends help to greece of doherty's home. commer conditions will also help firefighters and residence on the outskirts of athens were thousands have been forced to sleep. the

welcome to the show on the cold, fairly residents of russia as border towns have been fleeing their homes and seeking accommodation as far away as the capital law scale. following the incursion by ukraine. tens of thousands have been told by russian authorities to leave their homes to avoid the fighting. he says it has now claimed a 1000 square kilometers of russian territory. the premiums have also been forced to evacuate safety from border areas. many are heading to humanitarian centers in the sumi region in the north east of the country. w. eastern europe editor rowland . gotcha ranko told me about the psychological effect the incursion is having on ordinary russians as well. yes. well, things are still developing and i think it takes, sometimes for most rushing to digest what is really happening. especially if we

take into consideration that they're asking us authorities. i've tried to downplay the fact and still trying to downplay it. um, we don't have scientific data on this um, there are no, no pulse on the incursion of the ukrainian army, but so we can speculate at the moment, but it is really a big thing, a psychologically, as you've just mentioned, because it's really for the 1st time for decades that russia has been attacked by a neighboring state. um uh well russians, so to say that to credit is not the state so, so i'm a part of the soviet union, but still it has been a silver instead of just do a southern state for most of the world. so the effect is there and um, it depends on where you live in russia, if it leaves closer to the border where things are happening now in, in west and then southern regions of rush. i think the effect is much more. um, um, um it is my stronger so. um people see all those more than a 100000 dis tac toe. refugees they this is the 1st time rush. i was having this on

such a scale. and of course, you can hardly compare it to credit where millions have to flat the country off to the russian invasion, but still it has an enormous effect on the russian. so i can, i think it will take some more time for me to let it sink in. because because it's such a huge thing, have many analysts say a part of the ukrainian strategy here. so fear, and even this send with the government, among average russians, is that working you thank as well. um it's, it's hard to, to mess up the ads. i think if it's working then it's, it's not working that so we can, we can, we can really say that it's, it's, it's working well or what cannot. i'll explain um this, this more when you're in russia is attacked or any country is a tech. there is more, i think something about riley around aflac. so people,

the society is more consolidated. and this is what the logically putting is hoping for. this is what he was addressing. uh, just uh, uh, on monday when he spoke about this incursion. so he said that uh ukraine will not succeed in dividing on a country. so um, i don't think the major major point of this incursion for your credit. i think the major points were, 1st of all, to denver or the russians for us is from don't boss where the fighting is very, very hard for the brain. and i mean a to boost the opinion we're all and um, to uh, to show it to the world. a 2 grandkids still fight that it can still hate russia and, and these can still be successful. the criminal, it has a notorious propaganda machine. how is that been reacting to this incursion. busy it's interesting, and the russian propaganda machine has a big problem and is because it's a, it's basically a has no more munition,

because russian propaganda has been telling for years as being has been telling stories like less, boom, you're great. let's, let's draw up a new clip on your client. let's boom, washington. let's bone berlin. so uh they, they can hardly escalate small um, verbally. so, um they press a real problem and now watching them listening to them. i see that they're basically continuing to say the same things that russia has to take revenge on. your brains also has to, um, drop mobile homes on ukraine process would kill to kind of the presence of landscape. but we've caught that old a many, many times before. and on the other hand, russian propaganda has also a problem because, and i think he's trying to downplay the, the scale of what is happening. and, and we are seeing that the trying to bring all the news from other regions of rush out of events. so they're not focusing completely on what is happening cost something you would expect in any of the country. yeah, that was our eastern europe editor, one going to rank of great speaking to you. thank you so much. around this foreign

ministry has called on european countries to quote, stand against the war in gaza. the statement comes after ron dismissed calls from france, germany and the u. k. to exercise restraint meant warnings of an eminent or rainy an attack on israel. iran lanes is route for the killing of hamas as political sheep and tear on last month. the united states, recent deployment of a submarine and finder jets to israel, is being seen as a warning to a ron to stand down on its threats as well. is there any reason to believe iran will not retaliate or at least limits its retaliation? that's the question i put to file was george's, a professor of international relations at the london school of economics. a reading is that the wrong leadership does not really want allow tool is a israel. they are taking that time. they are trying to calibrate that attack in a way that does not really provide these riley 5 minutes. that was

a pre tax for the full escalation, full side escalation. so to answer your question in, in, in a, in directly i think it will most likely be measured and try to avoid civilian casualties in is rap, iran's new president, mostly protest, skin is considered more moderate then his predecessor is there, or was there hope for the escalation with this new government as well. i mean, we know that the new president, the agenda is the agenda is very clear. he wants to focus on the economy. he wants to open up the wrong a society, the one to restore relations with the less than governments. but remember what happened on your end is in all duration. uh are best and the smart and honey yeah, was the, i mean guess ivana for the wrong and the, the ship was killed during the in log duration. so it was really great

humiliation seen by the wrong and leadership. so what the, your, on your leadership is trying to do is to basically that's what they say to try to restore the tasks, try to prevent israel convinced is round, not really a take a. so the rush and for the iranian president, it was basically a major sabotage before even he uh, on his own cabinet. but at the end of the day for your own use, the wrong president does not really make the final decision on full on policy and strategic mathus. it's the so praying lead the wrong i'd be so many who is the come on that and see. but based on what we know, that then you're arguing president is trying to limit your role as retaliation. because in his thoughts and his phone conversations with the french president and the british prime minister stomach, it made it very clear that the way to the escalate is to have

a c spot to and the blah blah thing and god. and this is my, get your on a way out to climb down from the tree. mm hm. now, and this is what we have publicly been told, right? that, that there was a rebuttal of the western nations appealed for restraint. what do we know about the back door diplomacy efforts and in this issue? well, i think this is a very important question. i think what we know, what we do not know is more important than what we know. we know that the united states and you're on uh, communicate directly and in direct they have been doing sofa quite, you know, as soon as the, uh, break out to the war in gaza. we also know that your theme governments, whether germany or france or britain are really trying to also uh, the escalate the crisis we know pop out and take in egypt. and jordan are also

playing a role. but at the end of the day, you're all going to need to have made it very clear they cannot afford met to retaliate. and sadly, to say as a student of international relations. that's what states do the idea prestige. the idea of the times is very important. but at the end of the day, it's been 2 weeks now. and the fact that you're on and phys, by law level as well, i have not 3 delegates. it's so far, it tells me they are trying very hard. that decision will be designed to retaliate without really provoking and a sort of escalation between israel and the united states on the one hand. and you're on and it's local allies on all that as far as jurors from the london school of economics. thank you so much. great to get your insights. several e u countries are sending help to greek authorities battling wildfires threatening the capital. athens firefighters have found the body of a woman in a burnt out in the factory. dozens of people were injured as the flame spread. fire

g say there is no longer battling a single fire, but rather many localize blazes, and time neighborhoods, north of the capital, i've had to be evacuated. the residents could only watch as huge flames and call this warehouse one of several properties destroyed in the mess of fi. a marching towards the greek capital by a cruise of wicking frame, typically to battle the blaze with people pitching into help wherever possible. i liked what we tried to save all the houses around the pot from ours. it's a difficult situation. the firefighters and everyone here trying the best. the thing is you can't fight nature a medically split up as i get. so people are not in the house next door, the trees were on fire. i don't know what happened because we were told to leave,

but the situation is tragic. so significant you came 6 smoke means residents can only hear and not see the nearby helicopters working disliked the fine is strong winds. intended dry conditions have made that bring the blaze is specially tricky. with flames stretching more than 25 maces high in some places. june and july, with the horses month, either recorded in greece, which also recorded its rule mister winter. either the fire is estimated to have been through about 15000 hic da. as of land, an area illogic then man has and health is on its way from april e. u. countries from italy and the check for public are among those seeming

equipment and assistance. thousands of residents remain on standby as the finest reasons, more homes and civil athens hospitals being prepared to take casualties or for a spot into a vehicle. if talkie is in athens and spent the past few days in the effective area and she gave us this update on the situation, it's, this situation remains crucial. i'm right now in the least you have the most affected areas where several houses, cars are burned down, you can see it behind me. and as we speak, assets are still falling down. uh so the situation is still uh, crucial. however, um, most affected areas as we speak are put under control, but as the fire is not completely pulled out, everyone remains on high alert. and also there was a warning, especially for the upcoming hours where the winds are expected to stay as they are

right now. very strong or even stronger. so um, everything is still uh tends um, what i see here in volusia is that people that have been evacuated yesterday and this morning start coming back to their houses to check the damage and to see if their houses and homes are still there. a and a reminder of our top story at this, our residence of russia's border towns are evacuating their homes to avoid finding out for the incursion by ukrainian troops onto russian style. cave says it has now claimed a 1000 square kilometers of russian territory to print and also been forced to evacuate to safety from near my border area. don't forget you can always getting the news on the golf. just download our app from google play or from the app store and that will given you access to all the latest news from around the world, as well as push notifications for any working. so i'm so fine sports,
