lead to a civil war, the institutions of conflict and the generally tense situation already in the territory of the bryansk regions close to ukraine, the chicken on the rostov region and the belgorod region, that is why putin, having turned away traditionally, said no to this, i can’t go because he doesn’t have the boss with whom the operation needs to be carried out he consulted with himself, but while putin is afraid to announce mobilizations, realizing how this could all end, well, there is an opportunity for the ukrainian army to continue beating the enemy, but let's not forget that the enemy is ukrainian the army also loses its heroes, that's why we remember them , appreciate them and know at what price these victories are given to us. thank you for being with us until tomorrow, i say goodbye to you . i congratulate ukraine on the broadcast of bbc news from ukraine and from london in the studio olga palamaryuk and today we are talking about

kharkiv after the shelling, there is no light again in the military administration, the reserve line that provided the needs of the population has failed the ukrainian army was replenished with hundreds of units of captured russian equipment in the kharkiv region, the russians lost some samples for the first time, and in london they are preparing to say goodbye to queen elizabeth ii , thousands of people are expected to come to pay their respects to her in kharkiv and the regions have completely restored the power supply , deputy head of the president's office kyrylo tymoshenko reported this kharkiv was without power supply, the blackout occurred due to the failure of the backup line that supplied the populated

areas, this was the result of shelling by the russians that were the day before, there was also no water supply in kharkiv, just like yesterday, the pumping stations of the kharkiv vodokanal do not work without electricity, according to the head of the military administration, oleg synogubov, although there was no firing on kharkiv at night, around 3 a.m. the situation in kharkiv, now we will ask my colleague bbc correspondent zhanna bezpyachuk, she is on the direct line, zhanna, you are in kharkiv now, tell me what is happening with the electricity supply in the city and i congratulate you for now kharkiv plunged into complete darkness. here you can see it. this is a very unusual panorama of kharkiv, which now opens from the city center. we are in the very center of kharkiv. it used to be

dark. you can only see light in the windowpanes. people use candles and diesel generators to light their homes. the premises, i.e., the state of the electricity supply in the city has not been restored, although information has been appearing for half an hour that this is what should happen, of course the residents of kharkiv are looking forward to it, but at the same time they are adapting little by little this is an extraordinary situation, because this is already the third day when there is no electricity supply in the city for most of the day, it is known that the military and experts warned about the danger of missile attacks on thermal power plants in ukraine, that with the approach of the heating season and with the approach of cold, this may happen, so we see that e- kharkiv is one of the first cities in ukraine to suffer from this danger. it is known that repair work

at the thermal power plant is ongoing. it was still working on the only backup line, which is also very a difficult situation, that's why there is at least some non -regular situation, the backup line can stop its work and then there is no electricity in the city in the region again, because the main high-voltage power supply lines of the main power grid of the station are supposed to work, but they are destroyed or significantly damaged, well, i can't help but ask on the one hand, the mood of the citizens of the past day is called one of the most difficult, but on the other hand , the armed forces continue the de-occupation of the region, can we currently talk about a return to peace life is very regrettable about the return to peaceful life in kharkiv or the region, it is still too early to say, on the one hand, it is really what is happening in the region of the liberation of the territory before the occupation in nadia

, kharkiv residents and people are returning little by little to the city, this is what i am talking about today local residents said that in fact entire families are returning to the city, and people cherish such hopes, in particular, that the ukrainian army will be able to defend kharkiv itself more effectively thanks to the fact that the entire region will be de-occupied soon, hopes that indeed everyone absolutely the territories of the kharkiv region will be liberated, as well as the people of kharkiv. now they are actively helping the people who live in balaklia in izyum, carrying humanitarian aid, delivering medicine , whoever can, the vegetable garden, and taking food to the people , that is, there is such a feeling of solidarity, and a feeling of great hope, despite this complete darkness the darkness is the first time i see kharkiv like the one that reigns here so far . well, in continuation of the previous question , what is the situation in kharkiv oblast in general, how is the

ukrainian counteroffensive progressing ? what i know from the military from my own sources is that the liberation of the territory is in progress, the process is slow, not as fast as it may seem from the news, and it is very difficult and the price of this counteroffensive and the liberation of the territory of the kharkiv region is very difficult and very high - this is the life of our defenders and about it by the way, the people of kharkiv are saying here that they, like no one else, are physically feeling the price of these victories and this liberation. this is the first moment. the second moment is that the border villages of kharkiv region remain under very heavy fire with heavy artillery and from other types of fsbuci rocket systems of salvo fire that in the end the city of kharkiv itself, except for the previous night, earlier in the previous days was shelled and this darkness

was actually disturbed by flashes from large shelling very close to the center of the city, that is where we paint , the last shelling was 700 m from here that is, this is the center of kharkiv, that is why the situation remains as it is, and until the occupation continues, these shellings that i mentioned, but people hope that they will be released along kharkiv region as it happened in the kyiv region in the chernihiv sumy region, where did the russian army go from? olya thank you zhanna, we talked with my colleague zhanna bezpyachuk kharkiv and the region, i will remind you from the morning without electricity and after the liberation of the populated areas, the armed forces of ukraine also took possession of russian military trophies ukrainian the army was replenished with hundreds of units of russian equipment in the kharkiv region, and some samples of the russian military were lost for the first time in history

when the russians left ukrainian territories they call the operation of curtailment and a series of distracting and demonstration measures, but what they left behind shows the value of these war trophies and what to do with such an arsenal. my colleagues asked the military expert serhiy zgurets when we talk about the situation in kharkiv oblast. it really was like this a unique case regarding the number of enemy equipment that the enemy left the territory in a hurry to escape from ukrainian attacks, preliminary calculations can already be done in general, it is said that at least more than 200 samples of armored vehicles when we are talking about e-e tanks, armored personnel carriers and bmps and a much larger number of automobile equipment of various special equipment in relation to artillery. these are separate calculations, but in any case we can say that we are talking about hundreds of remaining examples of e-e

heavy equipment that the enemy left in kharkiv region and why did the russians throw away so many weapons during the retreat? this is really one of the questions that both military experts and ordinary citizens ask themselves, because this is such an unprecedented abandonment of military equipment, because you know the times of the soviet army when you were destroying your kalashnikov assault rifle there, then it would be an extraordinary phenomenon, it would have entailed a heavy responsibility to the soldier. what are the two military canons? i think that one of the reasons is actually the extremely rapid actions of the ukrainian army, which ensured such assault actions, cutting through the defense opponents,

then developing the offensive, this is one component of this story, and the second is that they are unprepared for resistance and they even tried to protect themselves there with equipment, you even happened to destroy it, which is actually also considered one of those axomatic measures when someone advances there and the enemy does not get it, so that the athlete does not get the equipment, they destroy it, but this is quite a serious sign of the level assessment of the fighting spirit of the russian army if they leave military equipment in such a quantity. that is, it means that a similar situation can be expected in other areas of the front as well. how can these trophies help the armed forces of ukraine in struggle with the russian army, this is really an important and interesting question, because during the first months of the war, when the russians left a significant number of tanks and military equipment in

kyiv oblast, sumy oblast, and chernihiv region , there were about 270 tanks type t-70 e 2.80 which were used by the ukrainian army to strengthen our units and compensate for the losses we suffered during the hostilities then it was about 270 tanks now i think that this number of tanks will be somewhat less but i think that it will still attract up to up to hundreds, the same applies to bmps and transporters, and of course they will go to the manning of our units and our soldiers. by the way, they joke that this was a russian lend-lease option , providing -e aid to the ukrainian army , so that uh, indeed, bmp tanks and artillery will find a place in the ukrainian order of battle and

will crush something further. since the beginning of september, the armed forces have returned more than six thousand square kilometers of territory to ukrainian control. deputy minister of defense hanna malyar reported that, in particular, in the kharkiv region, the armed forces of ukraine liberated more than 300 population centers, approximately 150,000 people, at the same time, according to malyar, the numbers may be higher. tomorrow, the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov will provide detailed data. at the same time, in an interview with finanshall times, the ukrainian troops were tired after a six-day counteroffensive. in the kharkiv region, but their fighting spirit is high, because this became a sign that russia can be defeated . the ukrainian flag returned to the city in a blur, russian soldiers negotiated at an early stage of the war, but while the ukrainian military is conducting a counteroffensive, now it has been liberated, the ukrainian

authorities say that at the beginning of september, they brought back under their control an area four times larger than the territory of great london, the rapid advance of ukrainian troops it seems that russia has been stunned by moscow announcing the regrouping of its troops, but the us claims that many soldiers have fled to russia, in some places you can see the traces of their i live nearby, i think that our troops advanced very intelligently, the russians were shocked and ran quickly, i would say to the soldiers a big thank you and what we have been waiting for. ukrainian troops are advancing further and tearing down the symbol of russian occupation. now the russian federation is in the kharkiv region and there are still battles in those cities where the ukrainian troops have formally entered and stabilization measures are still taking place, that is, when the work with saboteurs is underway, certain security measures are being carried out in moscow

he says that he is fighting back, both sides are counting losses, but the number is still unknown, president zelenskyi appealed to the western allies, we must strengthen our cooperation to overcome russian terror, we must recognize russia as a terrorist state, strengthen sanctions , we need the eighth eu sanctions package, increase aid to ukraine and, above all, speed up the provision of air defense systems to ukraine everything that huge challenges threaten, however, what is happening now at the front may become a potential turning point in this war. so , ukrainian troops were able to release within a week almost the entire kharkiv region, the retreat of the russians, which the ministry of defense of the russian federation called a regrouping, was a rapid and chaotic breakthrough of the defense in the area of ​​the city of balaklia destroyed the entire kharkiv front of the russian troops , this was closely watched in the western countries, but the

unexpected changes on the front were happy. far from all, because the new successes of the ukrainian military raise new questions what will happen next and how will putin respond, bbc columnist jeremy bone, who covered the retreat of the poroshenkos in the kyiv region at the beginning of the war, shared his observations about the current ukrainian counteroffensive we are not talking about the fact that the ukrainians won the war but they won a very important battle and the ukrainians also believe that they have answered a number of very important questions whether they can make breakthroughs return territories yes or do they effectively use western weapons yes now why does this matter because in a number of countries are starting to hear voices that the economic price of confrontation with putin, confrontation with russia, support for ukraine may be too high , especially before a long, hard winter, and ukraine now he says listen guys and we have shown that we can win give us more weapons we will finish

our work here on the russians this is an obvious defeat this is not a retreat in battle unlike the ukrainians who are convinced that they have no choice but to fight russian soldiers are so insecure that they there they do why should they fight their morale is at a terrible no but here is another point i think the summer stalemate was much more comfortable for many less hawkish nato countries than ukrainian victory or ukrainian defeat defeat of course, it will be a disaster for nato, but the victory of ukraine, what will putin do next, because don't forget that from the first day, putin has always used the nuclear argument, intimidated by the use of nuclear weapons, loud words, but you have to be stupid not to take these words seriously, meanwhile, in europe, they are preparing for the hardest winter of recent years

western capitals do not hide the decades of winter that they will have to live without russian gas at all. they are really preparing for the fact that moscow will use its energy resources to the maximum weapons are already being blackmailed by the kremlin, you want to be warmer, lift the sanctions, stop supporting ukraine, europe is still united, although the fluidity of the ranks often causes fears among observers, and the prices of gas and electricity are breaking records , and are they not exchanging heat in europe for ukraine, let's talk about the mood on the continent with the bbc correspondent hryhoriy chugulov, who follows the politics of brussels, congratulates hryhoria. have they already figured out how europe will winter in brussels ? hello olya what do they think is the main emphasis in europe now they are preparing for the winter and to fill the underground storage with gas, as they are most ready to buy this gas at any price, but there is a downside to this, these sky-high prices are already hurting industry

and in the wallets of ordinary people, a conversation about what exact number will be recorded in the payment this winter, this is probably one of the most discussed topics , people are really afraid of this upcoming winter, in high offices they are trying to find a solution , some countries are proposing a limit on prices today for example, the czech republic introduced this, for example, the czech republic limited the maximum prices for electricity for the population of private enterprises and such institutions as, for example, schools . electricity and so on, all the views are now on what the european commission will propose tomorrow morning in the european parliament, ruslan derevlyanin is scheduled to deliver a speech by the head of eu affairs, what exactly is the energy crisis going to be like

a significant part of her speech will be devoted to the topic, today it became known that the european commission seems to have abandoned the idea of ​​introducing a maximum price for the purchase of russian gas, or on the one hand, this idea has supporters among large countries, on the other hand, there is opposition to it, and this opposition is no less so well, there is simply no consensus on this, here is another option that is being considered and that was also discussed in the european commission earlier is to propose special taxes for energy companies of those companies that are currently in the background of these record prices record profits are being collected, but that's all for now, preliminary information, as i said, everyone is waiting for the president's speech, in any case, one must understand that no one has a magic wand, and there are no simple solutions to complex problems either, the winter will be difficult, that's clear, everyone is ready for it they are preparing at all levels, that is, lighting is not needed, including streets from houses to

monuments, and they are reviewing the hours of operation of shops, and so on. this is already at the national level, each individual country is thinking. one of the factors is important. the factor will definitely also be energy savings at the level of each specific resident of each specific household. we see russian attacks on critical infrastructure in ukraine, and many say that this is just a rehearsal of what russia will do in the winter. will there be ways in europe to support ukraine? in the event of a large-scale blackout, there are two points that i would like to mention . on the one hand, ukraine can sell its surplus electricity to the european union. by the way , ukraine has recently been very active in selling these surpluses to europe, receiving cash for preparation

, including for the heating season, on the other hand, in critical situations, to receive this electricity, but generally speaking, about the possibilities of assistance, er, i would say that they will be quite limited both in terms of electricity and gas , especially in the case of gas well, simply because this winter, especially if it is severe europe itself will experience a very strong energy deficit, so once again the winter will be difficult, but it looks like this is the price that ukraine and the european union will have to pay in order to get rid of russian gas and energy in general. you mentioned that ukraine is synchronized with the european electricity system, and president zelenskyi stated that although russia wants to prevent ukraine from exporting electricity to europe with its strikes on the energy infrastructure and thereby help, does europe count on such

help in wartime, well, this is one of the arguments of course, the european union of ukraine was glad to receive support from ukraine to a certain extent, even unexpectedly, in the form of the export of excess electricity. this was especially important in the summer, when you remember that in western europe there was a record heat . there will definitely not be in the united european power grids, and each kilowatt will be well, maybe not worth its weight in gold, but you understand , it will be very valuable, but eu countries like me already said, they are preparing for any scenarios, they are trying to save as much as possible, already now with the onset of winter, saving is not just an option , but a necessity for ukrainian electricity, they will understand the potential, understand the importance, uh, and at the end of the summer, the ukrainian ministry of energy generally said that they are ready to supply the eu

and one and a half gigabytes of electrical energy. this is not for a second the equivalent of 5 billion cubic meters of gas, but now it all looks too optimistic , considering the strikes of the russians on the critical infrastructure and approaching cold weather, experts still believe that the main thing for ukraine will be to provide for its own needs thank you live from brussels bbc correspondent hryhoriy zhigalov britain says goodbye to queen elizabeth ii the first public farewell ended in edinburgh according to the authorities 26 people came to pay their respects to the queen at st. hedia's cathedral 000 people, the coffin was taken from the cathedral to edinburgh airport, from where it was flown to a military base near london, and is currently being taken to buckingham palace, where it meet king charles iii and queen camilla

the children that's why we came today because it's nice and calm here right now like a shelter before a storm it will be a massive operation for the transport system and the police for commissioner of the london police - this is the first day on the job, this is a huge victor for the metropolitan police and for me personally, but we have been preparing for many, many years, soon the preparation for the ceremony will be replaced by a simple quiet procession past the coffin of the queen and at the end of the release, one more piece of news at the age of 92: franko, the swiss film director jean-luc godard, died. he was at the origin of one of the most important directions of cinema of the 20th century, the french new wave. in general, the director
