ah, we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for but how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. ah, this is the w news line from berlin. annexation votes are underway in russian health regions of ukraine. western powers have called the so called referendums, a sham, they say broncho will fix the outcome to justify its illegal occupation of ukrainian territory. not far from the front lines,

the city liberated but in ruins. ukraine's army briefly pushed brushing forces out of yarns. but as our correspondent reports life, there is still far from normal. for coming up, it runs president vows to investigate the death of a woman arrested by the morality police. but that's done little to 12 public outrage as protests turn into an open challenge against the government and youth activists around the world stage. a global strike to draw attention to the climate crisis among they demand more aid from countries for countries impacted by extreme way that ah, i'm been fizzling, woke up there being cold sham referendums. russian installed authorities in ukraine's east have begun holding votes on joining russia. the cycle referendums

are being held in areas that make up 15 percent of ukrainian territory. but they're also taking place in the middle of a war zone. a strike outside one polling station in russian. okey python yet overnight lift 6 people dead. for kremlin, separatists blame ukrainian forces, the voting is expected to last several days and result in the regions annexation by moscow. ukraine and western government say they would recognize the outcome. the w bratia analysts or mangold jungle told us that the referendums, a part of a wider rush and plan to dominate all of you cry. well, we have to keep in mind that the general goal of russia is to destroy, to disintegrate grain. and this is what is all about, and these so called randoms a just an instrument on the way to the end goal. so it is very important for russia to occupy ukraine, but not to look as an occupier. that is why they are staging these referendums and

the so called referendums, in order to know to make an impression that people leaving the ukrainians, i actually was willing to join russia and lottery, so generous to accept them. so it is, of course, a war situation and no referenda is possible under walk circumstances nor a friend are possible according to the ukrainian law. and there are many other reasons why it is all illegal. but it is also important for russia to distract attention from the defeat. the russia suffered in the region of hockey in north or ukraine in early september. but such referendums were planned from the very beginning. it is part of putting this plan in finally, last but not least, i think are those experts who said as, as this war started, the invasion started in february. that is a kind of a gift for the russian president vladimir putin who will turn 70 in october.

i think there is something about it. yes, and this is also an explanation why russia is, is in such a hurry. of course, this isn't the 1st time the brushes been trying to declare ukrainian territory as its own. let's take a look at what's happened in the past. oh. 6 russian residents of done yet, celebration mid february after russia recognized the ukrainian region as an independent state. days before russia began its war. people here thought the declaration would bring peace, that the woods in ceylon, which it's very important for all of us, that peace will finally come to our republic and to lo hands can. we just want peace and calm with both, but neither because the easy didn't receive but conflict escalated after russian president vladimir putin. you signed up to support the separatists and used their

claims of oppression as grounds for an invasion. now moscow, back to officials in full regions as seeking not just recognition, but annexation votes on whether to join russia will take place in occupied her son zap or asia. lou husky and done. yet sk pots of which have been held by separatists since 2014, when crimea was seized by russia following a so called referendum. kremlin installed leaders in the regions raced to announce their ballots days after ukrainian troops recaptured sways of eastern territory. they've been preparing for months signing up residence as russian citizens in lieu hands. cuz some see, devote as a way out of war and deprivation. no, that will. yeah. we'll man, i think the referendum will be for the best or via that that yes, that there will be water and electricity get the people will feel like they are on

day night to finance you. you wouldn't submit. you'll see what mattered no jim lee . but for those who fled to ukrainian held pots of zappa's asia, the votes are a sham. but though it's a violation of international law, it's a fake task to show that occupied territories want to join the russian federation, which is a total lie. the ballot papers are printed, but there's no question that the outcome will entrench the conflict while the ukrainian and western government aren't going to recognize these, this, these votes and the results of the votes. but what about russia's international allies? well, i don't think we will see many countries recognizing that these so called referendums. let's remember what happened when crimea was annexed in 2014. just

a few countries agreed to see crimea as part of russia, such as syria, such as have been as well or, or cuba or north korea. so i think not even are the closest russian allies in the former soviet union. republics, like bell ross or context on not recognize crimea as part of russia. i think we will see the same situation here. and even if the result will be $890.00 or 100 percent, whatever, there will be just a few countries in the world to accept it as part of russia and to accept the legitimacy which is just not given. the analysis there from mal corresponded woman gunshot ankle. thank you. all these votes were announced soon after ukrainian forces liberated a large part of russian held territory. one place retaken in their counter offensive was cooper janski's in the hockey region. a corresponded economy,

visited the city and said, as this report, russia is here, it is day. that was the slogan. just a matter of weeks ago, hearing kapinsky, as russian officials handed out passports in the end, the russian flag came down faster than any one could have imagined. but the russian army hasn't gone far. in fact, you can hear its artillery every few minutes. just a few kilometers away. even before the shilling stops, graham prosecutors a fine coming. what remains of this police station, where russian troops had their base looking for evidence of potential war crimes, lumber, which i thought to look this up when you boys are right now, we're collecting evidence brought the more law. some of the things we're looking for can be lost over time, that i'm with them go, or that i'm worried that case, but we're looking for dna traces mothers fingerprints and also documents model. i am likely she'll, she'll be on the thought that the russian departure was so hasty. the investigator tells us, many of the soldiers left everything behind even their passports. that's on the

streets. ukraine troops out number the locals. many residents took the 1st opportunity to evacuate. let's ukrainian forces returned those that remained. keep a low profile. tell us the fighting seems to be getting worse. when on come up with the helicopter. we hope ahead was not ukrainian, as everyone around us assumed it was russian. ah, who had to come in now in a hurry, we will wait. windows racing that could be destroyed, could explode, and allow way to see what's happening. this is the route here in front lines. this is, terry is controlled by ukraine, but they're still consul threat of russian creation. and there's no cincy of that life was returning to normal in any sense to work. many locals. life is actually getting harder in practical terms. recent shelling the scene lose 1st power than running water. now guess yeah, yeah,

we've nowhere to go. our parents are gone and the situation isn't much better where my sister is in har key for as long as our apartment block is still standing, it will stay. but it's not heating or water. the people here miss most, it's mobile phone coverage. hottest thing ludmilla tells us is not being able to check up on family. come on, that is correct. sometimes service comes back long enough to say a couple of words to each other. pick it up, but you end up crying together. more than actually speaking, you know, what is up fact, my husband has 2 kids in high have. we have no idea how they're doing, a fiddle with ukrainian officials promised phone service me back in a matter of days, although they called promised though is anything resembling a life, as it was before february 24th. and the russian invasion, a few hours of to relieve kapinsky news comes through a 4 adults and a teenager wounded and yet more shilling some russian men of draft age

have sled dora, trying to flee russia to avoid a military call up for the ukraine war. the kremlin says, reports of people thing are exaggerated, but long queues have formed across the board border crossings into finland and cossacks done with traffic much heavier than usual prices for flights out of moscow have also skyrocketed in germany, calls to over refuge to russians fling moscow's military mobilization, a getting louder. let's discuss this with organ wagner, a member of the german parliament for the green, spotty. mister wagner, should germany be opening its arms to people playing russia right now? yeah, 1st of all, it may be very clear. the russian dictator, but also the population of reference. we want a bit more of an elation against ukraine. they are responsible for the war crimes. they are responsible for murder, torture for kidnapping, for example. children deresa. that is what the people of russia are responsible for

. that is that good? but nevertheless, i think someone fleeing from military service from russ, better for you, crane than someone fighting in ukraine when i present the last thing. thing directly to russian young men of protest against the really fight it all 3. then they need to be a play to you to and it was always the cough, dictatorships, like the soviet union, all the german democratic republic to close the bought. what's the cost of the, with the cost of freedom to open the border for those fleeing from the regime. and i think that is because we should have and the type that he did the european law in the asylum qualification directive. those person fleeing from military service when this military service is also willing to walk crimes have the right for them and we should keep to that and i'm open in that way for those. but then there's this other group and that is very important. there is another group for which i have

high respect, is the democratic opposition in russia and those people, i mean, close contact with an all the time those fighting the regime in russia, but also doing it from the exile because it's even more and more complicated in the rest of the papers and we need strong programs for this group of people to be able to come to europe and to work from for another law and to get rid of the dictator. so it's for who groups i think show, but from what you're saying is the message getting through to the russians? do think, have they now realized this is not a special operation. this is a war. what i think even the rest of the resume see spent, they have some interior problems at the moment that the, that the was not going they plan this is because they are doing the possible movement is ation. but they also see that, that there are problems in the ration population and they begin to realize what is happening. and so you can see this when you see that because the possible is ation

the regime in russia and pronounced heavy things and all the heavier things against the data. because they thought that not everyone would be happy to fight and 43 seem and even put in the that's not the whole of russia following him. but nevertheless, i'm really frustrated. see that a lot of people in russia is part of who to call and agree with. it was a nation. can i just ask you then? is that true to what the ukrainian bassett here in germany has been saying that instead of leaving their country, those desert is, should rather help bring down food at home? well, as you said, there are many ways to deal with this problem. and i'm very, and i trusted people to, to stand up in russia. yes, they should do that. and as i go through this and that into the dictatorship and it

is not that easy to take that up. and it is one way to flee from, from the military service. that is not the best way. and it's not that i think that the for people who did not stand up for the war and now try to see when it comes to their own life. but nevertheless, it's better for you to have these people fleeing from the military service them having them fighting and ukraine, kevin omega, oven back and from the government, greens. thank you very much for joining us here on d. w. thank you. looked out, a few other stories, making headlights through in you. an inquiry is uncovered. russian war crimes in ukraine, experts documented executions, torture and sexual violence. victims range in age from 4 to 82 years old investigation focused on the initial phase of russia's invasion and on the regions of keith and eve. hockey fence woman over

a dozen migrants have been rescued of the northern coast of syria after they both capsized authority. same old and 70 people, died in the incident that migrants reportedly departed from lebanon earlier this week, hoping to reach europe. anomalies on kong is eating its corona virus entry restrictions from monday. incoming travelers to the financial hub will no longer have to quarantine in designated hotels. preflight adage, in tests will also replace p. c. artists, business groups and residents had been pushing to relax. what were among the world strictest coping 19 measures? how soon can you help iran's president has vowed to investigate the death of a young woman in police custody. masa armine died after she was arrested for allegedly, failing to wear a headscarf. probably the cases ignited a wave of violent anti government protests in iran with state television, suggesting the def talk will be as high as 26 a wave of resistance not seen in years. iranian cities are engulfed in protest despite the use of force by police.

people continue to come out on to the straits. the death of master armine sparked these protests. we men are angry at the state, dictating a strict dress code. but now the cause has become bigger. many men have joined to and protest supporting the cause, have sprung up around the world. from here in canada to new york and spain. the iranian protesters want the current leadership to go. the state is fighting back hard. there are reports of security forces, firing metal pallets, and t gas. the army has warned it will confront enemies to ensure peace. oh, many have already been killed in the clashes. but for some mourners,

this is only compounding their anger. at this funeral, they chant, we will fight, we will die. we will take iran back. the rainy and leadership's attempt to quell the anger has so far been unsuccessful. that avenue enforced that i contacted her family, the family of the deceased at the very 1st opportunity. and i showed them personally that we will continue to investigate the incident. there are reports of instagram and whatsapp outages and attempt to discourage further protests. the fury that has been caused my mother, i mean, his death is shaking the hard line iranian state. earlier i spoke to colony a tie head of the middle east office of the german broadcast at said the if i asked of what is so special about massage means case that led to these massive protest. well, this incident was probably the last straw,

but actually for long time iran watches the outpour of anger or frustration is actually nothing new. we have seen dozens of really daily acts of civil obedience. we have seen that the amount of aggression in the streets has been constantly high in the past couple of years. and that this, the he job coercion, the coercion of the state to where he job is only one example of many forms of coercion that the regime is applying actually on the generation that is in the streets. now, is it something new? it is more demanding. it is more defined, it is a simply applying means that has never been applied in the, in the streets. it is more king security offices, ridiculing them. it is burning pictures of the head to state and actually cheering about it. so this is actually a very new character and it seems that could have

a respect people had for the heads of state or for the slim maker. public in general seems to be completely gone. seems to have completely vanished just how dangerous are those types of protests that you would just make today? it is very interesting indeed, we are actually in right now getting less news getting less years because they're internet located because services are slow or blocked. but the put us ongoing in over 35 cities according to protest, which is inside the country. we are seeing a lot of injured people, especially in the west of the country, some parts in the west of the country where, you know, i mean the or massa. i mean, he was born according to eyewitnesses resemble a war zone. we're seeing how to house arrests, even security offices coming into the house. the why are the balconies? we are seeing

a policeman even beating protestors who are hiding inside the cars, beating them with buttons. and we are seeing a continuous wave of arrest arrest of all people who have been guiding the protest. arrests journalists, arrests of activists, arrested photographers when, if the protagonist of my book has actually just wrote that her sister got arrested . and another protagonist who lives in the northeast of the country and masha has been arrested 2 days ago. so this is ongoing. the regime has vowed to investigate. i mean, he's death. what's it about? come to expect that i don't expect any outcome at all. and the regime promised to clear up what led to the shooting of a passenger plane 2 years ago. and nothing came out of this investigation. no prosecution. i don't expect any else. come on the contrary, family members of the,

i mean the family have been telling media that i feel sorry, he's offsetting pressure on the parents. i me to come in to stay tv to full confession. i mean, this is the usual framing, the usual instruments and tools that, that regime is using. but i mean, these parents have been that was, they have given interviews to western media to ring an ex all media where they have been stressing that her daughter has been always healthy. and that she has died on a suspicious circumstances of bivens holiday. tie, be least correspondent for the german broadcast, et cetera. yes. optimal record breaking heat weight, strout, wildfires and floods. the climate crisis is again back in the spotlight today protested from the youth lead, movement fridays for future. have taken to the streets in new zealand, indonesia and south korea rally,

and the dam and the household money is meant to be use in, i'm sorry, it's so loud in this money is supposed to be used to invest in sustainable and sustainable energy resources and several entities and they also want to phase out of all fossil fuels. they also want to see investments in public transport. and they also wanted to use the windfall tax on energy companies to support my income families right now in this energy crisis. that's also going on simultaneously will, is the demonstrate is, are obviously turn off the volume. how have they taken into account the financial difficulties where all facing right now of a war in europe, high inflation, the energy crisis as well. yes, i mean, earlier today, louise annoyed by law, who's the face of the climate movement here in germany. she took to the stage and

addressed this problem exactly. she said that these courses are not separate, so they are connected and it is no, no use to play one crisis against the other. take the energy crisis example. if we solve the climate crisis, we are like you thought solve the energy crisis, phasing out fossil fuel than trying to renewable energy is going to help us in both for gods in the long wrong. so she very much advocates it for maintenance, for keeping these crisis. you know it's, it's a thing that connection between these prices and, and really solving about it addresses all these crisis as well. not just one at a time. to go with your family, gordon in berlin for us. thank you. rescue crews in tasmania racing against the club to save the law, surviving whales from a mass stranding they were found on the west coast of the island in australia is very south, most in the part of died and have to be removed from the shoreline. an alarming
