thank you for being with us, take care, pay attention to air alarms, the enemy does not sleep , but we will win anyway. we saw the day with the eyes of our own correspondents , we are watching good evening we are from ukraine good evening on the air of sheep from ukraine live from london i am yevgenia shadlovska and we have half an hour to talk about the key events of today without water and electricity russian military are hitting energy infrastructure is being destroyed in ukrainian cities, as ukraine is under constant shelling, restore electricity supply, i will say well,

what does this say to me, to exchange children, to see the wife, what happened to the ukrainian military, freed from russian captivity, the history of border guards from mariupol, valery padytelya and 100 years of the bbc, the british television and radio corporation celebrates its foundation day on october 18 in 1922, the russian military hit ukraine's energy infrastructure, there were strikes on kiev, dnipro, zhytomyr, kryvyi rih, zaporizhzhia, some of these cities we were partially left without water and electricity, and my colleague viktoriya zhogan is talking about the consequences of the shelling on a direct link from kyiv. so

, let's start with the capital. the russians hit the left bank of kyiv. they hit the power supply facility. there were power outages. good evening from the mayor of kyiv klychko, we learned today that 83 thousand families on the left bank already have access to energy supply thanks to the backup power supply. but we do not know how many families have lost today access to electricity, accordingly, this figure is difficult to interpret, whether all the consequences have already been eliminated or not, but i repeat that this is about our power reserve, utility workers will still be forced to repair the consequences of these attacks, and also in the afternoon it became known that the troeshchyna electric transport is already moving on its usual routes and before lunch, he was directed by others because

of these shellings, uh, shellings in other cities, let's sum up, what is the destruction, what is happening there with the electricity supply to zhenya today there were many strikes across the country and a lot of damage to the energy infrastructure in some places the electricity simply disappeared in some places there are access problems there are problems with access to both electricity and water it is actually difficult to confirm that somewhere access has been fully restored in the morning, a message was received from mykolayivska utsya that electricity was missing and access to it was restored in the city instead, for example, in zhytomyr , the head of utsya reported today after lunch that half of the 150,000 users of uts have access to reserve power sources, that is, it is approximately the same amount as in kyiv, but they

were able to restore only half of it from 150,000 e-e in dnipro, for example, we know that due to damage they will not limit street lighting due to damage, and finally today in the president's office they reminded that the largest number of non-fired settlements is now still in kharkiv oblast, and there are as many as 552 settlements , and this is not only about today's shelling, but also about hostilities and occupation in general actually, the ukrainian authorities have previously called to prepare for a difficult winter, this is what kind of preparations are being conducted now in the conditions of such shelling by missiles and drones as we have seen in recent weeks, if you look at individual communities or cities or even regions, you can find different information about preparations, well , probably at the lowest levels even at the level of

backyard chats, there is already a discussion about the purchase of possible generators, it is more happening at the community level, especially in those communities that are closer to the front line or in de-occupied communities - these are people who are just getting the opportunity to make their own decisions about their fate at the national level. for now, we are receiving reports that there will be no fan shutdowns yet, but if the attacks on the energy infrastructure continue, it is possible that the authorities will resort to of such steps so far, the government has distributed such brochures , booklets with advice to citizens on the economy of electricity consumption and indicated how, for example, we have a list of household appliances that use the most of electrical energy and people are urged not to use all this during peak hours, that is,

for example, turn on the e-e heating if you have it autonomously at night, it is possible, but from 5 p.m. until it seems like 11 p.m., if i am not mistaken, this creates an additional load. but the main thing is about preparation i would like to point out that perhaps it is not related to the economy or the energy infrastructure itself, the ukrainian authorities consistently call on their partners to provide anti-air defense systems so that russia does not destroy the energy sector of ukraine and the last news literally within the last hour ian stoltenberg said that this is true ukraine will soon receive new air defense equipment that will help protect ukraine especially from drone attacks thank you video bbc correspondent from kyiv victoria zhugan british intelligence notes that the russian military is carrying out massive strikes on ukraine in order to cause maximum damage

power distribution network because russia is failing on the front and uses cruise missiles air defense missiles to strike ground targets and iranian drones this is the assessment of british intelligence, iranian kamikaze drones are actually somewhat similar to cruise missiles, they explode when they hit a target, and as the reviewer of the analytical center says, the european council on international relations of olrik franks, these drones are quite difficult to shoot down with action and se, in fact, they are not drones from here at all. and this one a strange name with the word kamikaze is actually a barrage of ammunition that is launched into the air from the side of a truck and then flies to a distance of several thousand kilometers, this is the maximum after which they hit the target and crash, destroying together with the target. that is, it is something in between a drone and ammunition, hence the name kamikaze drone. it

was strange to me to see that they were shot down by bursts of machine guns, because these drones are quite large for this type of weapon, up to three meters long, with a wingspan of more than two and a half meters, so it is difficult to shoot down with small arms speec also have this type of weapon, these are american drones kamikade zasvek blade they have two different types of this weapon, in particular, the newer phoenix gelst, but they are much smaller in size compared to the shahed 136 that russia received from the switch blade wound, they also have a shorter range and duration of flight, but they are also used successfully, so we are dealing with a type of warfare when both sides use drones and baggage ammunition. and although iran denies that it supports russia, these are all political games online

a sufficient number of these friends have already been shot down and investigated, so we know for sure that these are exactly the systems that iran makes for nothing, that russia renamed them in its own way, this is no longer a secret for anyone before these systems were delivered to russia, american and british intelligence warned of such intentions. in fact, they announced that they knew these systems would be sent to the russians and that in the end it happened that no one believed iran's objections to these iranian systems and from october 10, when russia inflicted the following strikes on ukrainian cities destroyed tertiary power plants, president zelenskyy announced this, he called it another type of russian terrorist attacks, how does the ukrainian energy system currently withstand such strikes about this is the minister of energy of ukraine herman galushchenko told the bbc hard talk program strike after

the first wave of mass attacks more than 30% of the energy infrastructure was hit, which led to power outages, is your infrastructure vulnerable train to repairs quickles we are trying to repair as quickly as we can but it is clear that missile strikes on any object cause great damage to the infrastructure, the energy sector works 24 hours a day and repairs everything possible we continue to maintain the stability of the energy systems now the temperature is below zero and this gives us the opportunity to repair very quickly and turned on for a few hours they do not do much harm but if these strikes continue in winter it is very important to have strong air defense systems can you guarantee ukrainians access to electricity, heat and hot water everything possible to to guarantee this and we are doing everything possible to prepare for a very

cold winter. but we also appeal and ask people to reduce the use of electricity during peak hours and it works. because the whole country is fighting the enemy and people understand that they should unite in helping the state to support the energy system." for example, after work, ukrainians should come to sufficiently cold apartments and not heat their homes, as they did before, we do not ask them to sit in the dark without heating because we will still be able to supply electricity and the old heating systems still work, but it is important if they slightly change the time of use of some devices on which there is a lot of energy not from five to 11 in the evening, but for example at night, and this will make the system stable in ukraine you need gas, and most of the gas you get from europe is actually russian, which you reimport through european pipelines, at the

same time you want the europeans to completely give up russian gas, but you yourself have to give it up, we officially stopped buying russian gas back in 2015 yes, i know that, but you still use gas that comes from russia, yes, here are my ideas, currently, we produce ukrainian gas, which we store in warehouses, but we also import gas and it can be any of us some part of russian it may be russian but we buy it from our european partners we will talk more and now we are in touch with olena pavlenko, the president of the analytical center of dixigroups, which focuses on energy and security research ms. olena welcome to the air actually, we heard minister galushchenko say that it is possible to repair damage caused by shelling of energy

infrastructure objects, but actually, how can you restore the energy infrastructure when the russians are shelling it in this way? thank you for a question and by the way, i congratulate the bbc on a holiday today, uh, about the ukrainian energy infrastructure. we are also constantly in touch with the local communities, which you also talked about today, and we are watching and listening. how quickly is their electricity supply repaired there if the entire infrastructure is more serious we are talking about transformers and substations, of course it takes a little more time because the equipment needs to be changed, a new one is needed, a more qualified workforce is needed, then we are talking about a few days to a week but nevertheless, i can say that a lot of companies under the usual leadership of ukrenergo in the electricity sector are now working 24 hours a day in order to immediately respond to every e-e to every

destroyed every destroyed infrastructure object that which happens after the russian shelling quickly, how stable is the ukrainian electricity system, that is, what is the limit of its endurance, or can there be a moment when the whole country will be without light and heat? i think that such a global scenario does not exist in fact, i have to say that in february , many experts, primarily european ones, wrote that the ukrainian electricity system was very unstable and no one believed that we would be able to join the european electricity system very quickly and easily. that we joined. so we worked for another three weeks in the so-called isolated mode in the conditions of war. and we showed that the system is actually very stable, so i think that such a global

scenario as you are talking about will not happen, of course there may be situations with fan outages , there may be situations when russia can hit the generation and not only the e infrastructure, but in any case, i think that the reserve power supply will be applied to the last in order to preserve the power supply reserve, which is now the most important thing to do, i.e. purchase transformers , buy generators, and who is the key partner for ukraine right now in restoring energy structures during the war, i will say two levels, the first level is you, as you say, we need as much as possible spare reserve infrastructure of equipment in the ministry of energy and in the secretariat of the energy community , a special fund has been created that works only for the energy sector and there they accept help as

funds in order to purchase generators, e-e , transformer cables , etc. which large international company can help can put in generators transformers any other any other equipment in order for it to come to ukraine therefore, it is very important that as many e -companies and donors as possible contribute to this second level - this is where they have already discussed the protection of the sky and the protection of cities, since the energy infrastructure is actually a part of cities and the russians, as you can see, are shelling cities and thus trying to reach e-e infrastructure and any help with air defense of cities can immediately provide help and protection from energy infrastructure. therefore, it is critical for us. thank you, mrs. olena olena pavlenko was with us on the air

the president of the dixigroup analytical center, an expert on energy and security issues, meanwhile , the european union is preparing to winter without russian gas, there are countries that are filling the storage, they plan to save money, after the invasion of ukraine, russia reduced its gas supply to the eu gas blackmail, this is what the representatives of the european union declared, and in the summer it cut off the supply due to northern stream and this gas pipeline goes from russia across the baltic sea to germany in september, both gas pipelines the first and second, which never happened launched were damaged by explosions and now you can see in what condition they were, the first footage of the destruction appeared, the removal of the corpse by an underwater camera, on the video you can see bent metal in the waters at the bottom of the baltic sea, you can see an empty trench with which a part of the pipe broke off, a deep-sea drone descended to one of the rupture sites on the first northern stream at a depth of 80 m, and thus these

frames received a total of at least 50 m of gas pipeline destroyed in each branch for two punctures due to explosions that destroyed the lawn so far not established there is a suspicion that it was sabotage, and my colleague hryhoriy zhigalov from brussels is joining us. so, let's start with the footage we just saw, what new did we learn from them, well, first of all, these footage that we saw today and that were made public today, they confirm the main version that appeared literally in the first hour after it became known about these explosions on the underwater gas pipelines , it confirms that this is a sabotage, well, at least that 's what they say on the video, you can see the scale of the damage there, you can even see it empty such a trench from which a part of the pipe fell out, and here it is, in the company that did this own research, they say

that only extreme force can do this, it can bend the metal and the planes from which it is made. here is this pipe, what kind of extreme force is it? well, actually , germany, denmark, sweden previously stated that the cause of the accident was underwater explosions. of course, the investigator will continue to collect information. what we saw today is only the tip of the iceberg. the investigators have much more information, much more video and photos and more information. i think that in the next few days, germany, denmark, and sweden are the countries that are investigating what happened to gasogon. what are the main versions of the investigators ? is this the main version or not? come on, the investigators are now very careful in their comments and the

investigators themselves directly uh, they are not announced yet, such versions of the investigation are here. even the nuance is important, yes, the investigation is conducted by the investigative bodies of several countries, sweden, denmark and germany, but they are conducted by each country. investigation separately, they refused a joint investigation, but for example, sweden justified such a refusal from a joint interstate investigative group by the fact that the results of its investigation are so uh, so highly classified that they cannot accordingly share these results with other countries, but today also the wall street journal also published material on this topic with reference to german officials who are familiar with the results of the ongoing investigation. they claim that it is clear. well, they are not yet

ready to say who is behind this sabotage, behind these explosions, but they assume that moscow in germany is behind it. they also believe that in this way russia is trying to put pressure on germany to start the nord stream. 2 well, in the media and in the expert environment, in the meantime, completely different versions are circulating, up to the point that it may be the work of certain extreme environmental activists, but until the official results of the investigation are made public, all this is nothing more than speculation thank you, hryhoriy zhigalok, pbc correspondent in brussels , and yesterday there was an exchange of prisoners, and 108 military and civilian women returned from russian captivity, and some of them spoke about the conditions under which they were received, according to the words of 26-year-old hanna from the marines, as reported by the ukrinform agency. by us like beasts, even beasts

don't behave like that, they beat the girls, tortured the girls, beat them with hammers - that's the easiest way to hang them , i'll pass by, i'm generally silent because she was sour, even dogs don't eat like that, the words of one of the women who returned from captivity during yesterday's exchange, those who were released during previous exchanges also talked about abuse in captivity, the head of the donetsk border detachment, valery paditel , was captured in mariupol for four months, he was held in the volyn colony in the occupied donbas, he was released in september, when the first major exchange of prisoners took place, now the man is undergoing rehabilitation at the hospital and told us about the story of colonel valery the prisoner , there was no truth as far as the geneva convention is concerned. we are not in at one point, at no point did she work there, absolutely no red cross gave me the opportunity to write a letter home, what does

the economy expect, neither in terms of accommodation of military personnel nor in terms of food, absolutely nothing was done on the day of the fourth fifth e-e representatives at the price of the authorities, these guards, they came read the first lists of this from every beet somewhere there will be a lot of people and you took these people out also without explanations without anything we only saw who went out further where did they come until now we do not know where they went they attacked the unsanitary conditions. these are broken buildings. well, we came, at least in order. they instructed us. there were officers from the 55th hospital who came and even provided medicine. not that side provided this. it was provided by the forces of captured doctors. the menu did not change for four months . in the morning

, they put horov's pearl porridge in the lunch, what do they call it, boiling water with two pieces of cabbage, or if a potato falls, you're gone, and in the evening it's millet porridge, with fish, so-and-so the smell of fish when you approach the dining room, you don't want to go there anymore. well, in the evening, i had to have a glass of tea like this at the beginning. well, a slice of bread is for every meal. locations, and then they forbade it, they forbade it, they also cut down the time for the reception, and it was 40 seconds to 30 seconds, it was a participant in the meal, i will say that

if it wasn't for humor, if they didn't hold each other, if they didn't encourage each other, everyone could just go there day we spread every day we we cooked a barbecue at home every day, we met with our children, we dreamed that we would come and they said we would take wives and children, we would go somewhere in the mountains for three days, we would close ourselves so that the phones would not work, i say just to see them, to have a good time, because that is what i wanted more, i say well, how does it sound to me to exchange children to see your wife, what did you feel when you realized that it was an exchange, it was just real happiness, it was, um, it was. there were tears. well, i'm being honest, i just couldn't help it. what about you? him now they know that those guys who are there are for them a certain

impetus that at least some exchange took place, at least some movement took place. i hope that they will be changed as quickly as possible. i saw how mountains connect people, how difficulties, on the contrary, unite people i am a military man and i must be where i will be determined by the order of the leader. hug everyone here. this is how the borders of the mariupol police station, which returned from russian captivity, may still arrive in russian captivity , are believed by human rights activists and finally, the bbc, the british broadcasting corporation, is celebrating 100 years on this very day , october 18, 1922. the bbc was founded as the largest broadcaster in the world

. radio in november 1922 the bbc made its first broadcast from a radio station in london news and weather program director arthur burroughs read the broadcast twice fast and slow so that listeners could take notes 10 years from now in 1932, king george v, the great-grandfather of the current british monarch, congratulated his subjects on christmas for the first time on short-wave radio, and with that speech, the bbc imperial service was launched, which later became the worldwide service of the bbc. today, the bbc worldwide service has more than 40 different language services, including ukrainian the editorial office from ukraine was started in 1992, and by the way, this is a classic bbc microphone, commercially available microphones in the 30s were expensive, so the bbc collaborated with the marconi company to develop its own model

still, now you can see it in the cinema, then online television appeared, and the rest as they say , history, however, today we celebrate the day when the bbc began. moo but can old radio recordings be used in entertainment shows a century after the first radio program we meet the whole cairns he created a show about arthur birus and his equally interesting rival paul says first the talker was actually not bereus but under rekersley the chief engineer of the bbc here is his photo in 1922

he created the first radio program that was broadcast regularly its popularity and inspired the creation of the bbc this hut is where peter eckersley was broadcast every tuesday most of his shows looked like a british comedy radio program the gunshow, but 40 years earlier they had fun yes, but before that they went to the pub, it was some kind of broadcasts for tipping, so absolutely a little different from how we imagined it in suits and ties, more anarchic absolutely and now 100 years later all you can hear are the voices of these two men high-spirited and serious arthur and his somewhat undisciplined colleague captain eckerly and that's it see you tomorrow
