focusing on undecided voters. polls shows they may very well decide who wins. ah, i'm all out soccer a welcome to the show. we begin this broadcast with what appears to be a widening of the war in ukraine. a senior russian military commander says vladimir putin ambitions in ukraine include seizing control of territory in the east and all the way across the south that would open up the way to the russian back break away region of trans nestea in moldova. meanwhile, some of the last ukranian resistance in the port of mario pole are holding out in a giant steel plant. fighters from the nationalist as of regiment are assisting russian troops. they're refusing to surrender. has a look at the vast as of style industrial complex that has become a symbol of ukrainian defiance. a steel plant from a dystopian nightmare smoke and fire as far as the i can see. outside the city, satellite photos show would appear to be mass graves that could hold the remains of thousands of people. while civilians are stuck here, the remaining fighters are defiant, hold up underground in a network of tunnels. little this is one of the i say that while we are here, mary paul remains under the control of ukraine. he, mary paul was and always will stay ukrainian. no matter what they say russia claims to have liberated the city. they bombed for weeks with impunity. and says they'll keep those in the steel plant trapped there will never succeed. us president joe biden said mary, a pull was still in ukrainian, hans, and urged russia to open humanitarian corridors to let more civilians, leisure. we know a bummer evacuees who made it to the city of zap arissa struggled to describe the devastation of their home city. them still after 30 or some hell is what's happening there. it's not possible them could just re tell you, would you russians are killing people for nothing. if your world doesn't take measures, supervisor will be the same to what he or did they put it on my head. i learned we left yesterday there was a whole left instead of a 9 floor building or maybe he, for all the doorways are destroyed completely. all the windows are shattered. when maria martin, in our backyard, we have a little cemetery. we buried 7 people there. for those stuck in the city supplies are reportedly running low. it's no telling how long they can still hold out. d. w, correspond as in cave, mathias bellinger has been following the situation in maria pull, and he told us about the situation of the troops and civilians tramped in the steel plant. here the options are probably running out, of course, nobody knows. oh, how big the supplies are, the food supplies that they have? and this, this, these bunkers underneath the steelworks, they were boot off to the wall after would would chew. and they were designed for people to stay in there, to stalk up there on, on, on food there, and to stay there for a long time. but as the city has been starved and as all these soviet bunkers have not been maintained, the way they were designed designed, the question is, how long? of course they can stay there. they remain defiant, but it's of course, a matter of time until they run out of food, ammunition and on the supplies d. w as much as building as a in key. earlier i spoke to joe c o n c o n e a national security analyst in washington. i also what he thought of the reports that russia's ambitions now include capturing the south of ukraine all the way to moldova. the russians are now saying out loud, what many of us have long suspected that their intention is to capture at least the eastern and southern ports of ukraine. they tried and failed to do it all at once. the battle for keep is over. they have lost the battle for the dumbass region and the south stretching all the way to where desa is now on. this is quite an ominous development. it's not clear they can do it, but their intention should be of concern to all of us. let's talk about weapons. now you as president joe biden has announced another $800000000.00 military aid package is the and there was more to come. will this help stop motion troops if washers offensive trust is to be defeated, this is what we'll do it. the steady supply of weapons equipment and economic assistance to ukraine. the u. s. 8 packages quite significant, not in the dollar amount. 800000000 is similar to what we just sent last week. but for the 1st time, the u. s. is sending large quantities of heavy combat equipment. heavy combat equipment means large scale artillery. it means armored personnel carrier. it means helicopters, in this case, russian built helicopters that we acquired in afghanistan. all this is streaming in and it's matching this kind of equipment coming from other nato allies. the czech republic, for example, announce they're going to send t $72.00 tanks and b and p infantry fighting vehicles. these are russian made equipment. this is what the ukranian forces know how to operate. this is a new stage of military aid for ukraine. as you know here in germany, chancellor of salt is on the pressure for not delivering heavy weapons to ukraine, like other nato partners are doing. he says, the reason is he is such a move could be seen as germany taking part in the fighting and he wants to prevent nuclear war. if he wants to be cautious is right to be cautious. this is a concern. i mean, a point may come over to me might decide to use tactical nuclear weapons. this is why joe biden is moved very carefully and is kept the rhetoric low. but you can see that incrementally the u. s. been stepping up assistance and now it's clear that us and other countries can send heavy equipment without triggering that kind of nuclear response. that's why great britain is starting to do it. that's why france is starting to do it. i can speak for germany, but if you can't send heavy equipment, send more equipment of any kind. anti tank weapons, drones, things that can blunt, the russian armored trusts, national security analyst, josi renzini. thank you very much for your analysis. thank you for having me. has a look now at some other developments in the ukraine war. russia has confirmed the death of one of the crew members of russian flag ship miss our crews of moscow a week after it sank in the black sea. the ministry of defense that nearly 400 crew members were evacuated, criminal critics, suspects a much higher number of dead and missing, saying the ship's crew was about 500 strong. a court in moscow has ordered a position activist vladimir kara moser to remain in free trial, the tension for allegedly spreading fake news about russia's army. a criminal case has been opened against the activist who was declared to foreign agents. he was arrested earlier this month for criticizing the ukraine war and television member obama. some use away from ukraine now. and this week has seen an upsurge and violence in afghanistan in explosions on thursday and friday alone, almost 50 people were killed across the country. dozens more were injured. the recent attacks have left many afghans faring for the security as they have targeted places of worship at busy times. many blamed the ruling taliban for breaking their promise to protect citizens from violence. friday kept a week of relentless violence in afghanistan. a powerful explosion killed more than 30 people in this mosque and prayer school in condo us. most of the dead where students and we were busy worshiping outside walker. and suddenly an explosion took place on the 2nd floor, acted on them, and victims were thrown everywhere. and this upon many people were martyred and wounded and we brought the wounded victims to the hospital. just a day before a bomb destroyed this sheet mosque in missouri, sharif targeted violence against civilians has become more frequent recently across afghanistan. and more deadly available in the capital, kabul, many worshippers showing up for friday evening prayers, felt unsafe amongst a crowd. oh, let us sing it to me. when i got to the mosque, i was very afraid. and i was thinking that a suicide attack or explosion could happen at any moment. now, did lou reed and i did look at the mosque could be attacked. not only me, but all afghans carry this fear in their hearts. i am allowed to see, for most of the most afghans blamed their ruling taliban for not living up to their promises of safeguarding citizens. the taliban re took power in afghanistan in august 2021. after 20 years is outlaws mas, as i recall on the bestseller emerged, the taliban regime to pay more attention to the safety of the people get on. but how long will such incidents be allowed to continue on by that? because rather more bizarre had or was not all explosions were immediately claimed by any group, but the so called islamic state is set to bill behind. most of them the i s, sees itself as rivals to the taliban. the recent violence has been condemned internationally as a violation of international law. european union countries have reached a deal over made a changes to digital content laws. after 16 hours of talks running late into the night, the block will now move ahead with enacting a law of forcing companies like facebook, twitter, and google to police content for issues like hate speech and misinformation. french president emmanuel macro

extreme right heel. it's become a campaign of style over substance micron attempting to shake off a reputation of arrogance and connect with work and class moses la pen trying to betray herself as a serious states woman. in a tv debate earlier this week, let me micron a title, a pen stance on russia. huh. they, she refuted the accusation instead, trying to focus on the cost of living. oh, that's good for did on did you depend on russian power? you depend on mister putin as a few months after saying that madame le pen, that you took out a loan from a russian bank in 2015 for the 1st check russian bank left south to christian bank objected a car wash and i agreed on all the sanctions that were taken against the oligarchs against the bang us law. so the only sanction that i disagree with is the one blocking russian cat is a coil in port zuka. why? because i think that's not the right method. this is not what will actually hurt russia miss and above all, it will hurt the french people
