there were at least $100.00 raucous, fired against his territory on saturday. several of the countries regions declared the emergency on that day, and also emergency electricity blackouts were declared in key f, as well as at 7 other regions. now footage in social media in ukraine also showed a partially destroyed residential building in at nap, robert frost. ukraine and officials 1st blamed a rush for the direct destruction of the building, but sat stop advisor to ukrainian president. alexey are established confirmed that it was not a direct hit, but the work of ukrainian air defense systems for you, but he was below no polish. the missile was shut down, but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. now, authorities in ukraine were quick to disagree with the speaker that you just heard, and the mayor of never petrov kaz already called for

a restore bridge to be investigated by the country's security services. meanwhile, russian military officials have as stated thyme, and again, that says civilians are never the targets of russian a strikes. also, they have stated numerous times that ukrainian air defense. it has been very ineffective given examples how they're a missile defense rockets have already ended up in civilians, homes up, well not only in ukraine, but even in the neighboring countries when one of the ukrainian rockets killed 2 farmers in poland. now also earlier on sunday, russian defense ministry said that ukraine security services are setting up explosives in a grain storage facility in hark of region. now, at this provocation, as they called it was a plant in order to accuse russia of failing the so called grain deal. according to defense, men is free. the provocation is meant to increase pressure on public opinion in

western countries in order to achieve new, large scale arm supplies, the ukraine. this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would states such publications in order to find support in the west last year. our world headlines were full of stories about and youth from boucher ukrainian city. the russian forces return to keeps controlled you 2 successful negotiations that sir took place of the time by western media were presented with corpses of civilians on the streets of the city. and that's just 3 days after the russian army left, the linkage between the dead and the russian military was established immediately without any fag based data to back it up for its sport, russia has vehemently deny delegation. so in general, the latest you crating provocation falls in, i would the key of attempts to boost military support from the was due to its own failures on the battle ground of

a correspondent mentioned this week. so russian troops feel a significant victory on the front lines and they don't ask republic. they volunteer military group took the key town of sola, under its control. according to the russian defense ministry as trips assisted wagner forces in winning the battle for the salt mining town. he has some of the latest footage from the scene showing damage to residential property. often monks of heavy fighting cranium. troops abandoned some western supply weapons and ammunition as they fled the town. small sco, say the wagner troops were instrumental in winning the battle force on the door which paved the way for the russians further into the nearby strategic city of your mom's, which you train calls back moot, and is heavily defending with deeply entrenched positions. so line stretch for kilometer beneath the town of solar dot and were previously used by ukraine's troops to store weapons upon winning the vassals. that a volcanic re on this direct defenders into the mind to inspect them last day was

clear of kids forces. meanwhile desperate relatives of ukrainian fantasy was said to be missing or in cap, timothy have taken to the streets of kiev in what local media labeled march of widows, women were seen holding photos of their husbands. calling all the government to help bring them home. the protests follow multiple eye witness accounts, suggesting the key of it looks and to really relieve retrieve rather some of its wounded, inflamed service men from the battlefield. and despite some people calling for de escalation, the west to pay is focused on inflaming the conflict. mesa is chief, so he's expecting more heavy weapons to be sent to ukraine in the near future. we are, you know, the size, the face of the war. therefore, it is important that we equip ukraine with a weapons. it needs to win military support for ukraine is the fastest way to peace . this comes some western nations or betraying themselves as well luck turned to send new types of heavy weaponry to key. if, for example, the you case,

defense ministry have denied plans to send apache helicopters to ukraine. that's after a british tablo reported that the helicopters will, in fact be part of a newly announced military a package which is also set to include the challenger to tanks. and the denial from london. some media outlets report the britons military is actually trialing the apaches the use on the front lines. the training is reportedly based on the experience and lessons the u. k. is raped when the ukraine construct, including house counselor, threats like defense is drones and electronic warfare. this comes with appointment as to where she threw night urges his western allies to increase the flow of weapons to key if the, let's now discuss this with human rights lawyer and former hamburg last party member of parliament, martin dogs. and many thanks for joining goes on the program. last is good to see. and now the, let's just find my questions. the u. k. has of course denied these reports that it

will send apache helicopters to ukraine. however, britson is military is reportedly engaged in exercises with these helicopters based on the lessons of the ukraine conflicts. so what's your take on these developments? clearly what senior officers on the job like mr law, the former, a former assistant of miss mac was the chief military in germany. what he said, and the chief of staff in the us as well. they stay the same. the all in between russia and ukraine can't be won by ukraine. so the only way to stop was negotiations. so i don't know why actors like mr. song, or some actors in germany khaki, for example miss inside the troops democrats party. why they always bring

that this war can be one, as long as you who just draw forward, there will be no peace. peace can only come and through seeing the reality what the soldiers say. it's not possible to win this war for the ukrainian saif. so there has to be her, she say she has to take mostly in between washington and moscow and ukraine and might be some european included. but there is no way to win it in the military level, while it, according some experts, they say it's only a matter of time before the u. k. hands over these apache helicopters to kias, which would of course, pay the way for other countries to follow suit. how do you see this situation developing? if you look at that, i think that's an escalation. and why, why they do it?

because of the profit of the weapon industry, they make a lot of money for that. and it's because they're used to study, they russia and to go further from china, the china to fight on economical and military. if we look at that, that is not a way to cope this. of course, they can bring some more advantages for the ukranian than the russian army will get better weapons or even more weapons. and that will be like, walking on the shoulders of the people in the dawn of the people in the crane. and it can be stopped only through stopping all this. if she's deliberate, then might be germany will be false again. now there's some sorts of devil say we

don't want you to change and other change from your brain, but there will be more and more pressure might be a big event that only escalating on escalating the wrong way. the other pauses, while the, you know, as the new military, a denouncement for being made, some western countries in the already depleted their own stockpiles of weapons. so where does that leave the defensive capabilities of these western countries themselves? yeah, it's like, somehow mr boss has to be given a very, very good interview and the german newspaper news magazine, emma, and she said it's, we have to face reality and not try to fulfill some more and more unrealistic demands of propaganda. and those, we want to pause this conflict and of course it's not. and so did they buy weapons

and weapons and twitter grain was only a largest coach there has to be set an end to the stupid spiral of standing weapons. but some of the actors in all european countries and in the us as well, they profits with much of this war. they want to bring this law going on and going on. but we have to, i think all those people who are democrats, as you manage to send together, for example, 47 percent of the germans, the as against this is very little to change through russia. 42 are favoring delivering the power to contain. so the majority doesn't want it, even a lot of propaganda and the media, that's the same should be there. but so we see that still the majority of the population year. it's very reasonable and they don't want this wall to go on and on

. they want that there should be serious, serious attendance of negotiations. and so we have to work forward on that. but in the moment it doesn't look like that. like those who are really needing the countries in the west want this martin many thanks for sharing your time. and your insights with us this evening we've been speaking martin go to human rights lawyer and former hamburg left party member parliament. appreciate it. thank you all the best to at least 68 people are confirmed dead in a plane crash. net and port in the capital of nicole, we heard from several russian eye witnesses of the questions and cut monday when we were at the scene of the airlines playing crash, as it was flying from cap mander to pull higher up behind me, you can see the site where the police were sifting through the remains of the plains wing highlighting this area. it was at this point that the plane crashed. it fell on the opposite bank of the river north. jeff police, the police have coordinate all the crush side,

and the rescue operation is still ongoing. we can see several ambulances as well as a fire truck. however, the blaze was quickly contained, has the plane was flying from customer to and had already spend all of its fuel on the way. and when we were at an old airport near the napoleon, the asian club parking lot, at one point we saw the plane landing and it was already very low at the time, my colleague and i realized something was wrong, then it dropped sharply by about 20 meters in the plane disappeared over the horizon, there was an explosion and fire and that was it. typical loss of speed and corkscrews for the plains passengers are still listed as missing while the search and rescue operation has been suspended till monday morning. some of the bodies of already been recovered were delivered to hospitals, whether relatives, all the victims have gathered. as the country's deadliest playing crash in more than 3 decades. this unverified to amateur sausage apparently shows the final moments before and immediately after the tragedy. the plane was reported the trying

to make an emergency landing before it fell to the ground on the edge of a river gorge. know the poor government has declared monday a day of morning and is all the inspections of old domestic aircraft me most, some upsetting, such allegedly from the inside the playing just before it crashed is now circulating on social media. isn't verified, the images are said to have been filmed by one of the passengers. and apparently the last moments of calm before a sudden flash of light as the pain burst into flames. i say correspondent runjun sean has more details of the tragic crash. 80 or $72.00 of the year t a line that was in route from the capital city or the fall. got mon due to bull crap. and that stretched takes about 30 minutes and 20 minutes into the peak or from god mondo the crash was reported. the local media in the ball and i was seeing that there's a possibility of the pilot in order to avoid a crashing into the busy market area. the walk in the plane towards the sect reward

. and that's where the crash was reported around 11 am local time when the bang from the festival. this was only about one and a half kilometer was from the airport, where the plane was supposed to land. now, as for the civilization authorities of the ball, there was 15 foreign nationals and 4 crew members. these foreign nationals included, 5 indians for russians to cotton and some other nationalities as well. and now as far as the prime minister of bothers concerned, a push become the hon. he's held an emergency meeting with his cabinet. and i'm wondering the situation very, very closely me police army as well as police and also some local, really trying to help in, in the rescue operations there at this stage that are different reports on how many dead board these have been pulled out a. but at this stage, it would be very difficult to see if anyone has to live or not. of course,

the chances of that a very bleak, very, very unlikely. what happened to the clean, of course, those details are still very catchy at this point. but of course, we keep following all the updates and we keep on yours updated on that. we spoke to international aircraft, the accident investigated fall had it been masoud about the possible causes leading to the accidents and the current condition of napoleon ation slave. this the draft specified was about 15 and a half years or so, not ready. if i were to say, the issue with new boys has been there for a while. if you look at numbers, they've lost about 8 me, 8 crashes 166 people as bad as the previous 12 years. so that's a big number. 72 that had had some issue with in the past

related to icing conditions. the icing, which is the challenge in 80. i 70 degree exact, specifically 500 and below the one that the last day it relates to unwanted maneuvering up in a specially a slow speed, low cloud fog, rain value being these kind of issues also player. and it grows to be even more challenging, especially when you have interesting left, one thing on the board gash domain as well. china's new foreign minister is wrapping up his 5 nation trip across africa. the last leg of his diplomatic tool is in egypt where he met the country's president, as well as the arab leak. chairman bacon,

to africa should be a platform for international cooperation, not an arena for competition between major countries. africa refuses to be seen as an arena for competing implants. were open to cooperation and partnerships with everyone as long as their respect our principles, our priorities now interests. the partnership with china is built on this principles so the foreign minister has appealed to the authorities of both near and hectic aveena, urging them to punish the perpetrators of an attack on families of young subs, football players in the neighboring country. they were reportedly assaulted on saturday by a group of 15 knife wielding individuals shopping. we were waiting for use and a capital of bows near his house. some of the parents described the incident. what do you see there? about $10.00 to $15.00 men with covered faces entered the hotel pepper sprayed the parents and stopped one of them with a knife. it was really help. our kids are very scared. there was panic among them

in the hotel until the special forces came in calm. the situation last night was intense in your stereo. there was a chosen tournament in football where several teams from serbia came to join the regional tournament. so they were years from serbia, wasn't disagreeing, creation, so on and meant. but unfortunately, not the one these children's event who go without incidence. the parents or the children were setting one of those are in there were a fact late in the evening. and they even got stepped by a group of those that were here, knowing that they are served in their, in this hotel and, and they said that we could be waiting for you. so that means that they were preparing this one before they did it. the parents were of course, shocked. those sub, some of them were wounded. the children were terrified in this beautiful

opportunity for children from all around the region to join together and to share laps and enjoy. it was unfortunately missed and abused by this terrible event nostromo system. socialist this aside from all that happens before the police came, one officer said something really disgusting to me. it was a provocation. he got up close to my face and said, what do you want? pardon my language, but it was really like that. i didn't expect the police to react like that. his coworker, on the other hand, came up and reassured me with a hug. my kids were standing next to me and he said, come down, we will protect you. we're here now my situations like this. people really need to show their humanity above all. rather, one more happened on the field because one of the children of teams from creation was recorded the same page. seeing the

jumping, a song, kill, kill, kill serves. and this incident was just one of the men in the cabin best nice. and the mayor of been a cottage, you basically know who this quarter tweak after the event. because 1st of all, she ignored the that for several hours. and then afterwards, she to me about it about the to say for one second that was about service. she didn't mention service at all. so some of the from the side will not share the full context in mind when reading could reach. because he says she said in her 1st week that he gets inside work. and then in the next week she said that people from bed with that so no indication of mentioned that it was sort of in children. and serbia parents went back and they were at that executive cause they were serves as the hooligans themselves said that they have them on for that reason. and because

of the so called propagation, although no service flags were brought to their flag on the team on the team that was playing. and the problem is that the letters on flag were written in cyrillic and they can't remember the club. and those who are going to thought that is a pro cation and the situation is currently that are deciding whether to go back to read. and during the police of the conference and i will send it, they can arrest for the kids that because of the group, before venting them and the more more or less everybody's shocked by why this events happening was last night. ah, washington gas applies will eventually return to europe. that's the conclusion made by cotton's energy minister. he said the western functions aren't going to last

long. do your parents today are saying there is no way we're going back to russian gas where all blast to have to be able to forget and to forgive. and i think things get mannered with time. they learn from that situation and probably have a much bigger diversity, but trash and gas is going back in my view to europe. speaking at the global energy conference in doha, the catawba minister warns there won't be any new l n g storage in the europe until at least 2025. this comes in the u. k. decision to stop buying oil from india as largest to refinery, which in ports the commodity from russia. and d, as in port of crude oil from russia increased further in december 2022 topping $1000000.00 bows per day for the 1st time ever as moscow remainder of the top oil supply for the 3rd month in a row is new scheme would mean worse and will be buying russian, phil oh, be it indirectly defying london's own sanctions against moscow banking and they

cannot mix. professor richard verna say the europe is struggling to replace russian energy in ports a terry and energy minister whose heading b a little gas company is really looking at the facts and the reality. and he's very much aware of the european demand and requirement for energy. and the reality is, as he points out, that the us supplies that everyone is now preparing for do take time. i mean, there's not enough shipping terminals to receive it and there's a whole number of logistics issues you conscious overnight switch to american or the gas supply. so the reality is the gap that the gas from russia will be needed. and we really see in the u. k. india,

a case that these indirect measures are now being taken where essentially russian gas is being imported. but it's just not admitted. that is russian gas because it 1st goes to it from russia to india, is refined there. and then imported the reality is that until 2025, it will be difficult to replace russian gas. the winter has been somewhat mild this year. so it wasn't so far hasn't been a big crisis for europe. but overall, the demand is significant. my thanks for joining us. they were not the international way back in 30 minutes with .
