and passenger trains collided head-on, the last one had about 350 people, this there was chaos , a fire, broken cables, broken windows, screams , people stuck on the faces of those who managed to get out, shock and fear, some in blood stains in the second car from the head of the train but it was difficult for those who were in front to survive, because the collision became a village; for a while we heard the driver's announcement about the delay; there was confusion on the railway tracks , and in a moment the women and enter at dawn became clear the force of the impact, the cars were completely destroyed , burned or thrown off the tracks according to the police on board there were many students who were returning to the salons after celebrating the three-day carnival, this is all that remained

of the carriages, a pile of metal and broken glass , chairs scattered everywhere, evidence of the scale of this disaster, our thoughts are with the relatives of the victims, our duty is to provide aid to the injured and then to identify the bodies, i can only guarantee one thing, we will find out the causes of this tragedy and do everything possible to avoid a similar future, the attempt to find people who may still be under the rubble is still ongoing the investigation is finding out the cause of the accident and how it happened that two different services used the same track , which led to the tragedy, which has already been called the largest railway disaster in the history of greece and joins us

ukrainian journalist zafin sofia mysokovets sofia tell us what is known about the tragedy as of now here are the latest data good evening good evening from greece zafin a good month although unfortunately, the first day of the month in greece began with very bad news on tuesday evening a terrible disaster occurred a passenger train collided with cargo collision occurred near the city of larissa in the area of ​​tempi , and the passenger train was on its way from athens to thessaloniki, in which there were 350 people, unfortunately, most of them were students who returned after a three-day weekend to their studies , it is currently known and it is already true that 40 people

died, 85 were actually injured and 10 are still in a very difficult state of resuscitation, they are now unfortunately, there are many more victims who are still being searched for, and most of them are students again. the greek government has announced three days of mourning . transport costa from karamelis said today on the occasion of the tragic accidents at the speed of e-e that i consider it my duty to resign as a minimal sign of respect for the memory of people who lost their lives yes. and tell me, sofia, are

the previous versions of the causes of the accident known, perhaps already published, such information was made public, e.g. 90%, eh, the greek government has already declared that it is a human error and eh, what does this mean, this means that the station chief of the city of larissa gave the wrong command to the train driver , as a result, as a result , such a large collision of two eh trains took place . it is clear, thank you, sofia. the same minute the driver lost his life, too. thank you, sofia, that was what i would like to add to you that the rescuers and also the firefighters who are there worked all night but are still at the scene of the tragedy and are working to

find more eyes of these students who are being tragically searched for their parents, that is, the number of victims may be higher. unfortunately, thank you to sofia , a correspondent from greece, sofia masakovets, was in touch with us. and to the situation at the front , the majority of people's attention is currently focused on the eastern direction. bakhmut is a city that the russians are trying to for more than six months, in the middle of summer, russian troops and wagner's fighters attack the city every day and try to dislodge the ukrainian forces, according to reports, the majority of the enemy's offensive operations were repulsed, but in the middle of january, the russians broke through the front near soledar, which is 10 km from bakhmut, after that the situation began to deteriorate rapidly at the end of february bakhmut was visited by the commander of the ground forces, general syrian a. the day before, the ministry of defense

announced that they were sending reinforcements there for according to deputy minister hanna malyar, this decision was made by the samsyrian well, and the fact that there is no order to join is said in the armed forces, the spokesman for the eastern group of forces , serhii cherevaty, in a conversation with bbc journalists , said that the situation in bakhmut is under control , there are battles on the outskirts, we will not talk about all of this in more detail, he adds to the broadcast of my colleague bbc correspondent oleg chernysh oleg , hello, you researched this topic, i know that you spoke with military experts, what is happening in bakhmut now, the situation is under control as they say in the armed forces that they are still preparing for a retreat. hello, good evening. in fact, the situation is quite difficult, and even the military themselves who are in bakhmut may not fully understand how surrounded the city is and how free the supply routes are

. explain why bakhmut itself - this quite large, especially in the so-called donbas city, as there is a river on one side , which is a certain obstacle, but the offensive of the russian troops is conducted simultaneously from two directions, that is, from the north, from where they were at the front near soledar, and from half a day in a month, in fact, which came after the ukrainian troops retreated, they were forced to retreat from the soldiers, and the russian troops and militants managed to cut two of the three roads of the main roads leading to bakhmut, this road was cut first and somewhere a week or two ago, the road to slavyansk and these are the roads from the north, and that is where the progress of the russian troops is the most. there is only one main road, the road to kostiantynivka. it

is located west of bakhmut, and actually the russians are trying to get to it now the troops eh, well, at the moment, or so to speak, according to the latest data that i have, eh , they were stopped somewhere about four or five km from this highway, there is such a suburb called temple, and through it you come to the road and supplies there are, of course, so to speak, not asphalted roads on which you can go, but we all understand that heavy equipment is actually bmp tanks and they need an asphalted road or at least a road on which they can leave unobstructed and not get stuck , that is, the situation is not easy, there is a road on which can go out to pick up ammunition, but it is under fire from the enemy and the enemy wants to physically cut it off , so the next few weeks, as i understand it, or maybe even not, the situation

will be resolved one way or the other, or the ukrainians will manage to push the russians away from this one , er, road of life, or unfortunately, the russians will still get to it and our troops will be forced to withdraw from bakhmut, well, bakhmut is called a fortress, such an impregnable city and a place of huge losses on both sides. i wonder why the russians took it so seriously. the goal, well, the main goal is in my opinion, this is more pr , in fact, they have really been storming this city for eight months, and it really repels all attacks, the ukrainian garrison is there, and in principle, so to speak, it is impossible to say that it is in a critical situation, a- and why do the russians use bakhmut? well, it’s hard to say. yes, it’s such a logistics center and it’s an important city, but somehow

it doesn’t have a critical importance for the front. i think they just want to videotape it. i don’t know . putin might be surprised that they took it. the city for which battles have been going on for so long, because if they take bakhmut, of course we all don't want it, but even if they take it and the ukrainians retreat, they will retreat to new prepared lines near the slavic time, that is, to move on , i'm not that they will no longer be able to. there will be fortifications there again and, by the way, there will be, so to speak, more geographically advantageous positions for the ukrainians, i.e. bakhmut, more precisely , the ruins of bakhmut, if they distance the russians , they will not have any significance except for the informational one. well, and the loss of the russians under bachmut is measured in thousands, yes, we will also talk about it today on our broadcast, but the tactics they use there is this kind of pain with a human shaft, did it work, if possible briefly? well, look, we can

say that it worked, because they advanced, in fact, they are close to the encirclement before the capture cities, but will it work again because it is a resource, people, and here in the majority, we say that the fighters weigh, that is, there are convictions or other social elements, so to speak, it is not restored, it is impossible to recruit there again 50,100,000 fighters are important, that is, they have fulfilled their mission. i'm sorry, they died, they won, for example, some village near bakhmut or some road and they can't advance any further, that is, it's a victory in quotation marks, but it's a pyrrhic victory, that is, a victory that is more difficult than defeat. thank you thank you for oleg chernishko is a bbc interviewer, and you can read oleg's material on our website. if you have something to say, write comments under this video . we will be grateful for your feedback, oleg

. thank you. the situation with drones the day before, unknown drones or their debris were spotted in several regions of russia, the ministry of defense of russia stated that the target was civilian infrastructure and blamed traditional ukraine for everything, and already today the ukrainian side reacted to such accusations, the adviser to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podalyak, wrote on twitter that ukraine does not cause attacks on the territory of russia and is waging a defensive war with the aim of deoccupying its territories. this was a quote . the kremlin replied that they do not believe such statements, and no matter what, this is the first time when an unknown the drone flew to the outskirts of moscow, according to experts, such an attack can have a psychological effect on the residents of moscow and the region . well, before there they believed that the war was somewhere far away hundreds of kilometers from the russian capital. well , israel promised to strengthen the ukrainian warning system in the coming months, the country plans transfer its famous technology , its alert system predicts

the landing place of enemy missiles a few seconds after their launch, this will enable the alarm to be activated only in those areas where they are headed russian missiles and drones, says israeli ambassador mikhail brodsky, why is his country in no hurry to hand over the ppa to kyiv, and what red lines is israel not ready to cross in relations with ukraine ? bbc news ukraine correspondent georgy erman spoke with mykhailo brodsky. certain early warning systems about the approach of missile drones . can you name when exactly what kind of systems these will be? a guided missile or an iranian drone. this will help achieve two goals, firstly, not to declare an air alert throughout the territory of ukraine, as is often done when a missile flies out from somewhere and we do not know where it is going, and secondly, it will most likely lead to the fact that people will be more responsible to relate to the fact that in the event

of an air raid, one should go to the shelter because they will understand that in this particular area or on this particular street there is a danger of a missile strike and it is not just some general threat throughout the territory of ukraine how much it may take some time for adaptation, for example, it is difficult to say, it is difficult to say, i think we are talking about a few months, i cannot give an exact date, we are talking about a rather complex system, and specialists will need to understand how quickly it will be possible to launch this system in ukraine. i hope it will not take very long. early warning system - this means that ukrainian air defense operators will notice drone missiles a few minutes after their takeoff, what does this mean in principle, yes, you are right because a few seconds, as it happens in israel. i don't know how it will work in ukraine, we will see it, but in israel , a few seconds after the rocket takes off, we understand where it is headed, which city in israel, and even in which district of this city

they turn on the air siren alarms, and it is obvious that air defense means can more effectively deal with this threat and shoot down this missile or iranian drones, which the ukrainians obnoxiously called mopeds. and will this system be able to notice them? i thought that i think so because it is relatively primitive weapons, as far as i know, they fly quite slowly along a predetermined trajectory, so i think that it is against these mopeds. what do you call them? these systems must be effective. why does israel not provide ukraine with air defense systems? well, obmenu voprosy, she will be the starling of this question. i can only repeat what he said. not so long ago, our prime minister is now studying the issue of defense cooperation with ukraine. i hope that one or another decision will be made in the near future, as i have already said many times, it is better not

to discuss these issues in the press, let me discuss them specialists on special channels the less noise there is on this topic, the better, and moreover, we are in ukraine in a situation of constant threat of war and terror, therefore, the weapons that are in service with the israeli army are necessary for the defense of our country . therefore, let these things be discussed by the specialist. i am sure they will achieve some kind of result , you said at the beginning of the interview about the red lines, what are they? can you briefly explain to our viewers that the red lines are our steps in support of ukraine did not lead to a new war in the middle east and did not lead to the death of israeli citizens . if we understand that some careless step or careless statement can lead to the fact that terrorists will receive new weapons, that we will not have the opportunity to operate in the skies of syria and fight against the iranian threat , then in the near future this may lead to the death of israelis, both military and civilian, and no israeli

government will rise to such an extent. that is, you think that russia can lead to a new war begins to provide more aid to iran, there are many scenarios, well, many scenarios, including what you said, we are very worried about iranian-russian military cooperation, we talk about it openly, we know that during the war, iran supplied and continues to supply drones to russia, we know that these drones that are now directed against you tomorrow may be directed against us , so if it doesn't sound cynical now we are learning from your example, we are watching how you manage to deal with iranian drones and we understand that in the near future it is possible for us too will have to face the same threat and somehow counteract it against how israel can help ukraine to cope with this threat israel is already helping ukraine to cope with that threat how it happens we will not discuss let the specialists discuss it among themselves yes and can it be better

to really put air defense systems that will be tested, i will pass on your recommendation to those who make decisions on this issue, the non-reconciliation in ukraine spoke today. the president of belarus, oleksandr lukashenko, is currently with visited china and met xi jinping there, lukashenko declared that he fully supports the deceased's initiative to achieve peace in ukraine, the plan to end russia's war with ukraine, china presented last week the document contains 12 points that, according to the deceased, will contribute to the end of hostilities , lukashenko also hopes for cooperation with china in the field of technology, the loss of the russian army in ukraine is more than during the post -world war ii wars combined, the american center for strategic studies calculated in a year during the war in ukraine, at least 60,000 russian soldiers died. and together with

the wounded, this number can reach up to 250,000. this includes military personnel of the russian special services , mercenaries of the wagner pvk and fighters of the so-called dpr and lpr. 180 people in afghanistan up to one and a half hundred and in ukraine this number is more than 5,000 . the authors of the report say that the war in ukraine has become a war of attrition. the society of the country is reacting to messages from the front, we will talk about this with my colleague oleg antonenko, who joins the broadcast, but according to the assessment of american experts about the losses in the war, they have not been confirmed, but this figure is impressive. official data about their front losses, well, none of the sides indicate but how many of the dead according to the data of the russian bbc service, which is almost the only one that calculates from open sources hello. yes , the russian bbc service, together with colleagues from

the russian independent publication meteozone , calculates the losses of the russian army from from the very beginning of the war and we can be responsible for these numbers, that is, these confirmed numbers , we are responsible for them, let's look at the latest data, so on the basis of open sources of the bbc, we managed to establish the names of more than 15.5 thousand russian soldiers killed in the war in ukraine. during the last weeks that it is interesting that the number of confirmed expenses exceeded the usual weekly figures by five times, and this is most likely a consequence of the offensive that russia has launched in the donbass and significant successes, let's say directly and despite the number of losses, let's talk about the losses. if during the whole of last year there were usually about 250-300 dead every week, then in january the figures doubled to 15,500

russians killed, these are of course underestimated , we understand that in fact they are at least twice as many, that is, according to the most conservative estimates , we are talking about more than 30,000 russians killed and the total irreversible losses of russia, i.e. the number of those who cannot fight due to wounds, death or who have disappeared, so they can exceed 135,000 like this the count is taking place, can you explain this very important question and it is good that you hmm asked because we are talking only about those whose death we can confirm the information about this we get from various sources, first of all this is a message from the officials of the heads of the russian regions i do not know the school principals there, etc. the second source is the russian mass media, it can be village newspapers that report on the deaths of villagers or the so-called federal mass media. but to be honest, it is small

regional publications that write about the dead most often, the third source is publications on social networks of relatives of the deceased, and this information is also verified by the bbc, that is, if we are not sure of the authorship, we contact people and check the information by other means, and the fourth source is memorial plaques and monuments , as well as graves in the cemetery it is very easy to distinguish them from other graves there, the wreath or the russian defense forces or from wagner's pvk and we count people, as i said by name, and we can accurately confirm the death of all these people i talked about. well, what about in general, these data say, well, look, at the beginning of the invasion, russia used its most prepared, most prepared elite units, we can learn from these figures the desanturus of the special forces of the marines, and at the very beginning of the war, all these units suffered

huge losses, both killed and wounded , for example, in just three days the assault on gostomel , russia lost at least 125 paratroopers by may, the elite units of the russian army lost only a quarter of their personnel in battles due to wounded and missing in the first months of the war, the average age of the dead was approximately 20-25 years old, but the majority of the dead in the last three months is completely different, it is made up of mobilized and volunteers, that is, those who signed the contract already after the start of the war, as well as prisoners . that is, we can confirm that more have already been killed mobilized, more than 40% of them have died since the new year, this tells us that they are often thrown into battle without proper training and are used in assault squads alongside the wagnerites , this is also an interesting thing about the losses among the wagnerites

i will only give the figure, i will not throw numbers here, so in the last three months, the number of graves in the cemetery of prisoners in the krasnodar region has increased 11 times , which confirms the information about the colossal losses they suffer around bakhmut and in other places, and all we know about more than 1,300 murdered ex-prisoners, among them murderers, people who were imprisoned for particularly serious crimes, and so on. olya, that's one question, whether such messages influence the instruction of russian society to war . well, according to the information you have from russia the constitution changed a year after the beginning of the invasion. well, you know, it seems very difficult for me to be in london , for example, to assess the mood of russia because i can't see everything myself. we also don't have sociological tools that we can trust, we don't see protests in russia , and it's clear why even the word war is forbidden there to discuss in public or on social networks the number of russian casualties, and

to call for an end to the war in russia is very dangerous, it can be qualified simply as discrediting the russian army, the only thing i i can say that in russia the number of dead soldiers is increasing and freedoms are decreasing and this is possibly the only and not very original conclusion that i can make, although i am not very sure that i have answered your question. 5 million children were forced to stop their studies for years . i visited the north of ukraine and saw

the realities in which young ukrainians study today. forced vacation we just heard the siren of the air alarm which means we need to go outside the children are used to it because the sirens here sound quite often we are all now going down to the basement under the school it is the safest place all the teachers are talking on the phone and trying to find out what happened here below, the teachers do everything possible to distract the children after the dances, the lessons continue underground for millions of ukrainian children, now it is the norm. what do you feel when you hear that siren and have to go down to the basement?

hands because such realities well, we can't do anything about it, you can't convey one emotion, you feel all of them at once, fear and joy, the fact that you are one day closer to the end of it all, many of these children have witnessed terrible things, child psychologists say them i worry about how this war will affect a whole generation of ukrainian children in schools, teachers now read more fairy tales to help children escape from reality outside the window, now because of the war, many children have such serious problems as stuttering, only enuresis, some have encopresis, many fears about the life and health of their loved ones and we tell each other a lot of stories

, we have a lot of dogs, for example , dogs, it is also important when dogs come into contact with a person. the rare school bell was replaced by a more gentle melody, this sound means that the school day has come to an end, but the only thing they really want to sit for is the end of the war, well, that's all for today,
