about russia has using iranian drugs in ukraine before they got over the ukranian president accused iran of like need of the scenic returning. we are shooting down at least on 10 iranian drones daily, while the regime claims it, it allegedly provided a few of them before the start of a full scale invasion. they 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 corporation 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 cova knows her brother is dead. she just doesn't know where his body is, but giving dna 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, unless the lip was called the gland bishop, we were not allowed to enter the grave 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 come down and then we would go there and find his grave and tidy up. but we couldn't lonely poach. and 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, them killers in your bill and there was nothing left of the bodies. the concrete slab 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 that use the whole eyes and now on the front line, ukrainian se, if taken a village and her son moving one step closer to the regional capital,

pro russian authorities in the course on say, that they have seen the escalation in artillery shelling over the last week said the front lines remain the same. but what we do know is the 1st one is very important to the russian, is the only regional capital, the money you take from the start of the war. and then you're putting in military believe they won't want to give it up with that to fight. i said vague, i was just it a privilege and germany chance that will have shawls is urging russia to public key declare it will not use nuclear weapons in ukraine before ist and life. and we are not kidding ourselves. russia is and remains a great military power, and russia has nuclear weapons gun, and that is precisely why it is very, very important that we say no. it is not allowed. it is unacceptable to use nuclear weapons. and this complet recall on russia to clearly state that it will not do this. that would be a limit that must not be crossed. it was one of the most distressing images to come out of ukraine at the start of the war. an apartment building and keith struck by

miss alt leaving a gaping hole in its side and sending a signal about the level of fret to civilian life. now though reveal rebuilding is under way hurry forth that met one former resident looking forward to moving back in with his story of how his 9 year old son saved his family. this is my flat. as you see, it still doesn't have her in the door. alexi mar, resolve is looking to the future. one, we're a treasure. cost in this apartment will be rebuilt. causative control stuff is not flat. it was a big all here. and with, with lots of dust and lots of glasses around me. on the 3rd day of the war, these images were seen around the world. a shocking demonstration that civilians in ukraine's capital were in the firing line. lexi and his family had moved to a nearby bomb shelter, only hours earlier. it's more strange for amazing that my,

my children asked me so i use my voice. he's my media post and she doesn't understand what war means. he'll alexi and his wife maria lived here with their daughter. and 2 sons was the youngest boy mickland who came to them the night before the strike went to our bedroom here. and our parents, please go to shelter because they to live usually tells us that it's safe place. and we have to go in and we move around now and then i think i think the floor appealed away and hanging in the

void was the one that supported his son's bunk bed. so if you my voice wouldn't sleep in this room and this night i'm sure yes he this fellow residence res, tens of thousands of dollars in the days after the strike to buy supports to keep the building intact. now the key of city government is funding the reconstruction of all the affected flaws. what happened here back in february was a stock symbol of the sheer scale of the war that was coming to ukraine. the efforts to rebuild here are of course pragmatic and required for those who used to live here, but they're also symbolic for a country that wants to demonstrate resilience. can you still visualize it in your mind? because i remember how it it looked for alexi, there are no doubts about returning here. he wants to put his old apartment, his family's life back together as it was. if our angel was so strong

to prevent us from the district that we do not carry nothing, we was carrying nothing here. it was maybe grinding on into the winter, but for lexi and his family, an important personal victory is in sight. very full sit al jazeera, keep us president joe biden says tuesday the midterm elections will be a defining moment for the face of democracy in america. he made the remarks during a democratic roddy in pennsylvania and appeared alongside former president bark obama. the city of philadelphia say it is a battle ground in the race to decide who control the senate rough, 3 days, 3 day. until one of the most important election was aboard elections in our lifetime. it's going to shape the outcomes going to shape

our country for decades. the gum and the power to shape that outcome is in your hands. it's a choice, a choice between 2 vastly different visions of america vastly different. a former president, donald trump, has also been in pennsylvania campaigning for the republican senate candidate. also, he took aim at top democrats, under biden, follows the humour and the radical democratic congress. your commonwealth is being totally destroyed. our country is being destroyed, biden. and the far left lunatic. so waging war and pennsylvania energy, crushing pennsylvania job gutting, pennsylvania communities and strangling pennsylvania families with soaring prices like you've never seen before. allan fisher is following the campaigns and has more each of their strategies. or donald trump believes that

a victory for the republicans in the midterms would be good for him. first of all, if the republicans take over the house, they will stop the january 6th investigations. and also they believe that they will start investigating job bite and who could well be donald trump's opponent, if he decides to declare that he's running for the presidency again in 2024. so anything that damages your biden would be seen as good for donald trump, and he would build any electoral success on the backs of a good mid term result for the republicans. now, as far as the democrats are concerned, they've changed their messaging in the last week or so, and certainly over the last 72 hours for such a long time. joe biden was talking about the threat to democracy. he was also talking about how abortion was on the ballot because of the decision of the supreme court over the summer. but that hasn't really resonated with voters, particularly as they go to the stores this weekend and find that their food bill is much more expensive because of inflation. and if they go to fill the car with gas

or petrol as we knew it, and they find out that it's $23040.00 more expensive than it was a year ago. so he started to talk more about the economy and how he believes he's helped and middle class america, and how he believes that with a democratic majority. he can continue to do that. seeing a lot of the steps that he's taken to help ordinary american people would be stopped by the republicans. and that's true if the opinion polls are to be believed . the republicans are heading for a victory in the house and possibly in the senate. and if that happens, joe biden will find that his presidency become shrunken. he won't be able to push through the agenda in the final 2 years from the campaign that he waged 2 years ago . still ahead on al jazeera will take you to a seed bank in columbia that's preserving precious plants, climate change drives them to the brink of extinction. plus i'm under simmons at nicosia airport in cyprus, abandoned,
