lo and welcome to the program, we've begin in ukraine and for the 1st time mirand as acknowledge that it sent drones to russia. aaron's foreign minister said on saturday that his country is supplied moscow with that equipment, farts for st. amir of de la yon says the small shipment was sent months before the invasion of ukraine, and terran is no longer supplying them. keep is claiming that kamikaze drove been used to bomb sissies and energy facilities. were on the front lines you crazy, eastern city of back. what is facing intense fighting, official say that russian troops are trying to storm the city from several directions by which has been an important target for moscow in this slow advance for the daniel screeching. meanwhile, in the south, ukraine says it's taken another village near harrison where russia has been guessing civilians out of this city. as a bag begins our coverage now from cr v. after months of denial, iran has finally admitted it supplied russia with drones. but only before the war.

fab last more ha, cadillac dangled crying directly order. we give a limited number of drones to russia months before the ukraine war party. we agree with the accordion, foreign minister that they submit to us any evidence they have about russia using iranian drugs in ukraine before the car, the over, the ukranian president accused iran of like need of, he seen it puts them the we are shooting down at least on 10 iranian drones daily, while the iranian regime claims that it allegedly provided a few of them before the start of the full scale invasion, many, only yesterday, 11 were destroyed shuttle. if iran continues to lie about the obvious, it means that the world will make even more effort to investigate the terrorist cooperation between the russian and iranian regimes. and what russia pays iran for such corporation law. what we do know is keeps as drones, have been used to strike ukraine cities and energy facilities, adding to the ever growing number of civilian casualties. anessa over knows her

brother is dead. she just doesn't know where his body is. by giving a d n a sample at the small by laboratory, she hopes to be one step closer to resolving her anguish. when russian troops occupied his him, the casualties were put in a mass burial site. many with just numbers to identify them in nursing. the pasquale, the gland bishop, we were not allowed to enter the grades site. the military were there and guarded, the gravesite. we were not allowed there. i know only the number of the grave. we thought that everything would calm down and then we would go there and find his grave and tidy up. but we couldn't only put and i is not the only bereaved relative searching for answers. these photos are all that is left of the victims from the missile attack on this apartment block in life and in death. the couple were together, some killers in your book. there was nothing left of the bodies. the concrete slabs fell on them. there was a couple that was hugging. they probably felt that was coming. this is, that's how they were identified because only they could be huggins,

which is all eyes on now, on the front lines, the ukrainian se, if taken a village and her son moving one step closer to the regional capital pro russian authorities. and of course on say that dancing escalation in artillery, shelling over the last week said the front lines remain the same. but what we do know is that her son is very important to the russian, is the only regional capital, the money you take from the start of the war, and the ukrainian military believe they won't want to give it up with that to fight . i said vague, i was just it a privilege and dosage of baris for the reaction for us from iran capital. the iranian foreign minister saying, i'm here to lie on said that, that the iranians sent a delegation to a european country about 2 weeks ago to meet with ukrainian officials who are going to present their evidence to the iranians. he said that at the very last minute the ukrainian officials pulled out of what from what he believes to be pressured by the

united states government as well as germany. because he believed that they were going to impose further sanctions on neuron around these strong sales. the new position is that these sales took place before the war started and also as a result of that 2015 nuclear deal, the arms embargo and post by the united nations security council on her own since 2007 was lifted in october of 2020, and that meant that iran could export and sell its military hardware and capabilities. but there were restrictions on it that are still in place until october of 2023. and the american officials and some european countries that are still remaining in that nuclear deal claim that the drones fall under advance and military hardware and therefore they're still under sanctions. and that is a violation of the nuclear deal for the time being the radians are saying that

they're still waiting for that hard evidence. and that the rhetoric coming from the west, in terms of what iran has sold to the russians. well, before the war started is just that rhetoric the german chancellor la scholes is urging russia to declare that it will not use nuclear weapons in ukraine. remodel on the floor was land is of life. and oh, we are not kidding ourselves. russia is and remains a great notary power, and russia has nuclear weapons guns for metals, precisely why it is very, very important that we say it is not allowed. it is unacceptable to use nuclear weapons unless comic. luckily, i recall on russia to clearly state that it will not do this just that would be a limit, but must not be cross soon. we're done with tens of thousands of people of italian rally in rome, calling for peace in ukraine and urging the italian government to stop sending weapons. italy is supported, keith, since the start of the war, providing arms to help in the fight against russia's invasion. the new italian

government led by the far right ada georgia, maloney, his vow to continue with efforts to strengthen ukraine's offences well in on the developments, italy says that it's going to allow the docking of one of 3 ships carrying refugees rescued from the mediterranean. it is only for health checks, 30 say the ship will be redirected to international waters after miners and vulnerable people have disembarked. some have been stranded at sea for more than 2 weeks now. as these new far right government, which was only sworn in last month. as van to crack down on people fleeing north africa for europe, i be an impulse dog with another look round our rivera. the ship will be allowed to remain in italian territorial waters, only for the time necessary to allow us to see on board. all the possible health emergency of the people for whom i promise italy will take charge will take all the miners. its been said in the press and not through diplomatic channels that there are mine is on board. it's been said that there are pregnant women or women with

small children, or people with a fever till room and hall is the head of operations as humanity is on board humanity. you want yourself to tanya's coast. he says, conditions on the ship getting worse as supplies run out. the storm was heavy when then highway 179, people go right now on board which one among them one hundreds on the company miners which are getting a lot on mental health. they so people running in front of them, relatives and friends, they're nice, i getting cold rain, his bus, wind, his us and the people are nipping on. that not being really separate from adults, only the women and the 7 month old baby we have 10 find says the insights our women says are on boards. we can get basic medical support and basic mental health support. we can provide people with food blanket, clothes, water,

and the basic medical needs. we already do since more than 2 weeks. and it's clearly that we can not provide them any safety, which they would need being rescued at the they would need land and if they pay land to find at least a bit of safety in europe. the borrow supply will last until the beginning of next week. then we will run boots, and so far we have not found any solution to resupply. we also don't want to find a quick solution. teresa buy from our side, it's the duty of the coast guards from italy, which are securing the coasts we are sailing in. ah, well, yes, president joe biden has appeared alongside former president brack obama to push for votes in pennsylvania. back campaign together for the democrats in the city of philadelphia. pennsylvania is

a key battle ground state in tuesday's mid term elections raised, there could decide who controls the senate, former president donald trump, is also scheduled to campaign in pennsylvania on saturday for the republicans. 3 bay until one of the most important election were one of those or board elections in rural, i've drawn as good a shape ya guns going to shape our country for decades, the gum, and the power to shape that our drivers in your hands. 2 years ago, 2 years ago use that power to make donald trump not only a former president. what your medical defeated, president b. yeah, the border, murray, john, rhoda, moon, your dad, your dad is buried, sen. sounds. isha jones is like now from washington. so president iden speaking,

he's very no pennsylvania with 2 of his predecessors. alan, what, how has he been trying to sort of appeal to her to voters so close to the the election? well, you see how important pennsylvania is, the fact that to 4445 and 46 are all there in this state on saturday. and this is the 1st time that barack obama and joe biden of appeared together during the mid term campaign. and they're doing it for a joint veteran. the man, the hope will win an open senate seat and give the democrats a majority in the senate. he's up against dr. mehmet ours, who's better known as dr. oars, who's a television doctor, who was made famous by oprah winfrey, and they're hoping that they will be able to beat him. but the whole idea of pennsylvania being important runs through the republicans as well. that is why in the other side of the state, in the next couple of hours, donald trump will be there as well, backing memory, or is

a man that essentially he picked from a group of people who were running for the republican nomination. he wasn't the favorite, but as soon as donald trump picked him out, he was said, donald trump needs are when they're to show how important he still is in the republican party. also, there are 3 of the 5 congressional seats that the republicans want to flip. and they know that if they win around 5 seats across the country and the opinion polls say they're heading in that direction, then they will take control of the house. and that is implications as well for donald trump, because the republicans have said they are going to stop any investigation into him and the events of january 6th. and they are also going to impeach joe biden, that you might see what for the not quite sure yet, but they're working on it. and so this is a big, big election. and joe biden has been hammering away the idea of democracy being on

the ballot. and abortion rights being on the ballot. but the republicans of such forward by talking about crime and talking about the economy and talking about inflation. and that is why we have seen a switch in the democrat messaging in the last 72 hours. and a bit too late though, in making that switch in changing our possession of focus more democracy to economy inflation and crime. and that is a bit too late now to, to make a difference possibly in a key place like pennsylvania war. perhaps the democrats thinking was influenced by what happened in the summer. and you remember then, that the supreme court said that essentially the abortion laws could be decided by the state. the essentially scrapped roe v wade, which was the standard for more than 50 years as and that led to a serge in women, voters and democrats registering to vote. and they thought that that momentum would continue if they continued to talk about abortion. but the reality is it hasn't happened and part of that is because everyone sees the cost of their weekly shop

are filling up their car with petrol going through the roof. so it may well be a bit too late. if you look at the opinion polls and you're in the washington bubble than they will tell you, it is truly. but if you speak to people out and around the country, they see that they are seeing a real surgeon, democratic support. so it could be very interesting. come tuesday, the pol suggest that the house is going to be lost to republicans, but the center is very much up for grabs, which is why we're seeing biden and obama there together. and why we will see donald trump in the next couple of hours in pennsylvania. the seat they think could be crucial. so happening there is net. thank you very much. alan, sasha, watching al jazeera life in london. still ahead on the program. young you face of france is far right party national rally 27 year old jordan by dela elected policy president. protest is march in central london in warnings. new economic measures in

people that him ron hahn is holding responsible. i'm out of confidence fighting data. yeah. we strongly condemn the attack that has taken place on our com and we strongly demand that every single name he is named arrest them. he won't let corruption happen in our country. we've had a corruption mafia imposed on us in the long run talk we're doing on eob. the assassination attempt on enron con, was by the army chief and the army. they shouldn't think we don't know. we understand everything we've secondly, if such a famous high profile individual is not safe here, then how can we expect to be saying? politics in part sun is incredibly murky. it is complex, it can be ugly, and it can be very dangerous. but one thing is clear as long as m, ron con, has the ability to bring this many people out into the street in support of his cars, as long as he can bring it in large numbers into the streets of really any city chooses, maintains himself as a potent and powerful political force even out of office in this country. and as

long as that is the case, he will continue to be able to corrode from the outside, the institution that holds responsible for corruption, including the government. and crucially, the military and renee successfully completed a task to the new satellite carrying rocket according to saint media. b, i'm 100 will reportedly be able to place telecommunication satellites in orbit 500 kilometers from the surface. the u. s. is repeatedly voice concerns that such as could boost iran, ballistic missile technology. and the potential to launch nuclear warheads thereon is regularly denied having any such intention. we've gone and now where more than a 1000 protest is in the capitol cra calling for the president to step down as the country face is a worsening economic crisis. rising fuel prices and soaring inflation of anger gone angel already struggling with the high cost of living. it was
