one example rebecca mention is the dsa with the european union. do you think we are going to see more of this? will this trend continue? are there countries out there that will set up systems or pass legislation in order to do this? >> it is absolutely necessary. i want to give a quick word of what they need to look like. up until now, we have relied on platforms to moderate themselves and also take a piecemeal approach to moderation. rather than examining the underlying business models of the best companies. rather than looking at how the algorithms can encourage the kinds of problems we are seeing. what we need is a systemic approach that allows us to research data, to encourage rigorous levels of transparency so we can see just how big the problems are. all of the status should not be in house at tech companies. it should be available for scrutiny by those qualified to look at it. we need to make sure these regulatory frameworks ensure that in law. i really do hope that other countries with clout and with large numbers of users start adapting t

of course, one example, rebecca mentioned that the dia say a with the you. but, but do you think that we're going to see more of this? is this trend going to continue? are there countries out there that are going to be setting up systems or passing legislation in order to do this? well, it's absolutely necessary if the kinds of regulatory frameworks be introduced. i just want to give a quick word about what they need to look like, as well as the fact they need to exist. because up until now, we've both relied upon platforms to moderate themselves and also taking a really piecemeal approach to content moderation, which looks at specific pieces of content or types of content and tries to remove them, rather than examining the underlying business. most of the companies, rather than looking at how their own models and how the and algorithms can encourage the kinds of problems that we're seeing. so what we really need is a systemic approach, which allows us, for example, as researchers to access data to encourage rigorous levels of transparency. so we can see jus

rebecca was quick to respond. >> rebecca vardy posted a stimulant -- a similar link the statement. said it wasn't true. she it was a shame colina didn't ash. >> she has always been adamant she didn't do it. straight after the interview -- she replied that will be like arguing with a pigeon. geek they -- you are right, and they are wrong. our said, what have you done? you denied me in public and lessening out to dry. people who knew them began to take sides. >> someone who has come out in favor of colleen's former wife --. >> we also have boris's father stanley borden. she will be on a tv show. >> calin is a private person. this must have been months if not years. >> rebecca vardy has always denied she did this. in an interview in 2020, she talked about the toll the allegation was taking. >> i suffer from end zaidi attacks. -- i suffer from anxiety attacks. >> fouronths later she decided to ask. >> a torrent of onlin abuse, ridicule and threats to herself answer family. >> the first and came in november 2020. >> a judge. 22,930 pounds and 50 pence. >> there will be cost on the other

that's what everybody thought. >> the first time i saw rebecca was i wanted to love rebecca.hildren that my sister wasn't able to do. >> winger said he found harrington beating his wife with a hammer and to save her he shot harrington twice in the head. >> well, i don't think roger would have ever done what they accused him of doing. all we wanted was his name was cleared, you know? >> so one of the keys for the prosecution was to prove that roger had come to the house for a meeting and not to commit murder. >> walking through the entry hallway. so what did they have? they had the cigarettes. they had his coffee mug. why would somebody bring a mug to commit a crime of murder? the way he parked. they had the weapons that were still in the car. this is sort of huge. in roger's car was this note in his handwriting saying mark winger, the address and the time, in other words when this meeting was going to take place. >> and for us, it was very simple -- if it's a meeting, it's a murder. >> mark's attorney argued that roger was mentally ill. he had this mask that he sort of worshi

d w correspond rebecca rivers joins me now from the ukrainian capital chip. morning rebecca, how was ukraine doing it? its efforts to stop russia advancing in the east? well you heard a little bit there in that report, terry? not, not very well at the moment. so this is a really defining moment in this conflict and, and ukraine now admitting that they are losing the upper hand in the don't bass region. the governor of low hon, saying that ukraine controls only 5 percent of that area. now. i with russians advancing. that was last week that was 10 percent. so you can see that they really are moving forward. they are advancing in the ukrainians. really outnumbered by people and weapons, most of all. and they're just not able to stop them advancing. or the russians are trying to encircle troops around in la hans around that city. sarah, have several done yet. it's been spoken about a lot in this part of the conflicts, and they are actually succeeding. they are surrounding that city by on 3 sides now . and they, the ukraine is really struggling to hold them back.

hi, rebecca, good to see you. now ukraine's military leadership is saying it's forces may need to retreat from some positions in the east of the country. what can you tell us about the situation there? now? the situation in the dumbass is really not going in the way of the ukrainian side. they've already admitted a couple of days ago that they've lost the upper hand in that region that russia is overpowering them. and now as you've been reporting the mayor of low hans saying that ukrainian troops will likely have to pull out all that area met, loss, ukrainian stronghold, city of said there are done yet. as the russians are just pushing forward and advancing and will soon encircled that city. so in order to have the church not be encircled as well, they're gonna have to potentially pull back and shore up to fence lines further behind in ukrainian territory. but president salenti has been at pains to say that even if the russians do overtake this area and take over don bass as is looking likely it's not going to be

of course, rebecca, what's the latest from the battlefield? well, the fighting has been sent it on this city. sever done yet, because you, as your report just said, there are for some days now and russian troops are managing to surround that city almost at least on 3 sides on this, the mayor of that, a sorry, the governor of low hom square. that city is situated has been saying for days that, that, that ukraine has lost the upper hand, that russians are gaining control and that they are moving forward. but we're hearing reports now that the ukrainians half manage to at least hold the current lines. despite the intensive shelling you mentioned it got worse overnight. you ukrainian authorities saying that they're getting probably around $200.00 shells an hour. so they've had to, in fact, even stop counting the dead bodies because it's simply too risky to go out there and collect to them that they're going to have to wait. so that it's kind of gives you a sense of the intensity down there. but as i said, we are hearing that you kind of managing t

and without that weaponry, they won't be able to hold the russians back. rebecca, what can you tell us about the civilians that are still holding at these times of the east? i mean, we reported yesterday that many of them are hiding basements. oh, that's right. i mean the situation down there for civilians is incredibly dire. i mean, everyone has been following along with mattie, who, paul, you know, knowing that everyone was living in bunkers and the similar thing is happening there in the dawn bassam, this region has been bombarded for months, the civilians, they have been living without electricity. and now the utilities for weeks even months now, and they are having to live largely on the ground in bomb shelters, as the russians continue to bombard, they are now running out of food medicines. and of course it's, it's incredibly difficult, almost impossible. now to get humanitarian aid into those areas, a couple of days ago was still possible through some roads in ukrainian territory, but those wrote last remaining roads are just being completely bombarded. so it's too dangerous now

so on the fundamental or tennis rule based international order well did or view correspondence. rebecca richards is in keith and she told us that the ukrainian forces in the east are under pressure to pull back on the situation in the dumbass is really not going in the way of the ukrainian side that i've already admitted a couple of days ago that i've lost the upper hand in that region that russia is overpowering them. and now as you've been reporting the mayor of le hans saying that ukrainian troops will likely have to pull out of that area met los ukrainian stronghold city of severity. and yet, as the russians are just pushing forward and advancing and will soon encircle that safety. so in order to have the troops not being circled as well, they're gonna potentially pull back and shore up defense lines further behind in ukrainian territory. but president salenti has been at pains to say that even if the russians do overtake this area and take over don bass as is looking likely it's not going to be for ever, and the ukrainians will fight back when i have my weaponry, he's what he had t

thanks rebecca rebecca risa, keith satellite images have become what are the key sources of information as this war unfolds, photos and videos taken from space, document events on the ground, and can provide vital evidence of atrocities. images like this one showing the destruction of mario pole. a providing crucial insights into russia's war in ukraine. satellite technology has become a game changing tool in documenting atrocities. this is mary, you pulled before the russian invasion there. this is how the city looked afterwards. merry you pulse theater where hundreds of civilians were sheltering before a devastating air strike. the word children is written on the ground on either side of it as this next image shows that did nothing to deter the attackers. these are just some examples of how satellite imagery often captured by commercial companies as helping investigators pinpoint what's happening on the ground. when russian troops withdrew from the city of boucher, near kiff, ukrainian forces discovered streets lined with the bodies of civilians. russia claimed these scenes were stage

let's go straight to the ukranian capital key, where dw correspondent rebecca recess is standing by for us. that's good to see your rebecca joe biden says putin is eliminating ukrainian culture is that something people are talking about are worried about where you are. well, i don't think people here in key that i've spoken to at least a particularly worried that that's happening here. i mean, that's of rhetorical language, really just referring to the fact that rushes invaded a sovereign nation. but you know that people here not really worried that ukrainian culture is going to be completely stamped out, but as not to say that they're not worried about what is going on in their country . very concerned about this battle happening in the don bass, which, you know, ukraine are losing the grip av so definitely concern about what's going to happen there. and what will that will mean for the future of this conflict if they do end up controlling the dog mass, as they are indeed attempting to do, then will that emboldened them to perhaps attack key if one more time or try and take other parts

so rebecca, the ukranian president saying he'll reinforce his troops, but does he have enough military equipment to do that? well, the short answer is no paddler. i mean, you know, president zalinski really defiant, they're really, you know, showing words of strength, but say at the end of the day they just are completely outnumbered when it comes to heavy weapons. and that's what they've been saying for weeks. in fact, in since the beginning of this conflict, this war, they've been calling for more support from the international community when it comes to heavy weaponry. and they had, did see some, a response from the international community, particularly from the u. s. and they were getting lots of weapons, but they need more, they say, in order to be able to push back the russians. the russia just has it so much more when it comes to, you know, tanks and artillery and these huge missiles and stuff that, that ukraine, this is a bit of a david and goliath battle, if you will. and in a president zalinski, the foreign minister here and really the entire ukrainian cy, just calling for mo

rebecca, thank yom i was _ just how momentous this is. rebecca, thank you. momentous this is. rebecca, thank you. i was indeed listening to i thank you. i was indeed listening to that. she talked about reimagining relationships, and i thought to myself as i heard that phrase, "that could mean lots of things." she could mean lots of things." she could be talking about reimagining relationships within the context of the northern ireland assembly where there has been such difficulty over there has been such difficulty over the last few years, even since 2017 assembly elections, in getting power—sharing really functioning. maybe she is talking about that, but at parties coming together to make it work. she could of course be alluding to sinn fein�*s stated aim of a united ireland. but herfocus in that speech didn't seem to be on getting the assembly working again and on dealing with bread and butter issues, the cost of living crisis, all the areas in which people want local politicians making decisions that affect their everyday lives. she also said we will show

very interesting, rebecca. the answers towards, towards the done by the last couple of days have shown very, very few attacks. in fact, very almost no ground attacks. what we've had instead is a preparation of the ground by artillery. and that seems to be quite considerable. you creating the authorities are also reporting, moving in of considerable russian forces such as that, that remain into that area. so it seems a slightly changed their approach. last week they were feeding forces in piece meal this week that massing for an attack, which i think will take place towards the end of the week, prepared for by artillery. we'll see what happens. they have made some grades done and done bass area, but not as much, i think because they wanted interesting late. on sunday, a considerable number of senior officers were killed and injured by your training strike. and the russian cheaper general staff was involved in that tackle though i think escaped maury or equally interesting the ukrainians are making considerable p
