ah, they settled into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening film project that became a major milestone in their lives. ice cold prevention start october 8th on d, w. ah ah. this is d, w. live from berlin. occupied regions of easton ukraine begin voting on whether it had become part of russia. western towers call the so called referendums, a sham. they say russia will fix the outcome anyway to justify annex in ukrainian

territory. not far from the front lines, the city liberated, but in ruins. ukraine's army recently pushed russian forces out of coupons. but as our correspondent reports lie fair still far from mom. also on the program rounds, president vows to investigate the death of a woman held by the morality police, but has done little to quell public outrageous protests turn into an open challenge against the government. ah, i'm go ahead, else as well. come to the program. authorities installed by russia in occupied parts of ukraine have been holding so called referendums on joining russia. pulling has begun despite worldwide condemnation, and a warning from the u. n. chief,

that the results will not be recognised. ballads are being collected in the regions, of course, on supper, asia landscape and donates an area, making up about 15 percent of the ukranian territory. as voting continues, keith says it has recaptured more ground in its continuing counter offensive. the vote is expected to last several days. and result in the regions annexation by moscow, ukraine and western governments say they will not recognize the outcome. vote organizers in danielle making house calls, bringing the ballot boxes straight to the people. amid the backdrop of war, residents are being asked to vote on joining the russian federation. e. and yeah, of course it's important. we were wondering when we would join russia, life will be commer. so the so called referendums are being held over 5 days. russian news outlets say most of the voting

will take place door to door kremlin installed leaders in the regions have been preparing for months signing up residence as russian citizens in lieu hans some see the vote as a way out of war and deprivation. noon that you yeah. well i think the referendum will be for the best even worthy of that. that yes, that there will be water and electricity. the people will feel like they are on the native land. you. you wouldn't submit just what mattered noisy maria. but for those who fled to ukrainian held parts of the upper regia, the votes are a sham. well, but the, 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 once the so called referendums are completed,

moscow could then claim that its own territory is under attack with weapons provided by the west. petro per shanker, was president of ukraine from 2014 to $20.00. 19. earlier he gave us his reaction to these so called referendums by russia taking place in his country. just hold. this is definitely not ready for him. there is no one single vote of the any people because it's impossible to organize referendum like that within 48 hours. the handle normally have had on them. please see the disc experience of the sweets, the land. it's preparing for several months. so yes, i'm, i'm not confident that the constitutional court of ukraine, exactly the same, like we do under my president in here, 1014 about the crimea. this is definitely an unconstitutional. and point number

3, this is that russian 3 how to legitimize their presence of their troops, and even more, to have an attack, including the possible nuclear weapons at deck from that territory, which was rapid, by putting them on this fake after him. are you worried about a nuclear attack? how likely do you think it is? look at what you is a crazy man. yes, he is absolutely an adequate. and he a thing that he has only one instrument. how to settle the situation is a blackmail he use in their security blackmail when he attack your brain without using their energy blackmail and everybody in germany in the world know what does it mean, using their gold blackmail, frank, and blackmail? by blocking your brain in order. and now using the nuclear,

contamination of like mail is with the a nuclear power plant. and he using the nuclear attack like malin with this to change. i just want to remind you that this is like male was the a situation where graham volunteer to give up on the 3rd biggest a smell in there in the world. am there how we can react only one thing we can do not use the nuclear weapons. if the west that kind of confirm that that would be see via answer on that tack. directly to put that would be act of this you a sight of fortune. and because put in a crate, the scenario with this is the only way how we can stop it. we should have joint declaration of being nuclear power in the world that will be weak and decisive

reaction on their tech. we and you great, don't operate there. you can't act despite of the fact that if you use the nuclear weapons attack, the fast point would be key exactly. when i'm saying here, 7 months ago, i'm staying here where i'm rushing, caring was 5 kilometers from these place. and the soldiers of my battalion unaware on their farm flying in that day to day, we are not afraid of them. and this is not c j. s. so you have met vladimir putin when, while you were president, in how far do you think he has changed? i have a federal recommendation based on my experience when you go to asia with 1st, please don't be afraid of food. if you are weak, would you go as far as lead together allow him to go 2nd, don't trust,

would you, would you with this negotiation? never keep it and said to jim and the stand only there for hours. and that's why they're ramp ukrainian army, the unit if you play now, this idea people and they're still coalition in the world supporting your brain and unit. it definitely still put you in where he's and that's why he use now, the mechanism of their conscription drive the mechanism of the nuclear blackmail. this is not safe. my became no, he is now the ukranian government has asked germany for example, repeatedly to send more modern battle tanks. but john, so it shows insist that such steps must be agreed among allies and at no other country will send in western battle. thanks to you, crime, do you understand that position?

chesterfield. i want to thank the nato and nate member states for the decisive role . you play a supporting ukraine and i'm forced to finance state to stop. without that, that would be almost impossible. boy, number 2, that this is the initiative of our system part is the deal and i'm a little bit disappointed that today the german parliament button to start do not support this initiative. i really counted that boy, number 3, you should understand that the more weapons, the more munition you supply, the shorter would be the way to the peace if not exist in any other way, but you do not understand the way of compromise. so the time of the plot is

finished and now the best deployment is ukraine, an armed forces supported by their ellen. and with that situation, definitely, we need german tanks. in that situation, we need german ammunition. we very much thanks for the german, a dealer. and we do not need by the way german soldiers please help us save. you help us to save europe. help us to do our coleman job. that definitely, that would be our job, irresponsibility. i'm giving tank to you. great. given support in the ukrainian, i'm forces you are not helping you. you invested in your own security. the phobia cranium president petro her shanker there, thank you very much. it's a pleasure. thank you. the so hold referendums now on the way were announced after re ukrainian forces liberated

a large part of territory formerly held by russian forces. one of the places retaken in that counter offensive was coupons in the hockey region. the w correspondent, nick connelly visited the town and sent us this report. russia is here to stay. that was the slogan, just a matter of weeks go here in coupons. 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 of fine coming. what remains of this police station where russian troops had their base looking for evidence of potential war crimes love which i thought to look this up on you. but i, it's a 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 am worried that k, but we're looking for dna traces letesha fingerprints and also documents model. i

am. let me show you home of thought that the russian departure was so hasty investigator tells us. many of the soldiers left everything behind, even their passports. that's on the streets. ukraine troops up number, the locals. many residents took the 1st opportunity to evacuate, once ukrainian forces returned. those that remain, keep a low profile. tell us fighting seems to be getting worse. 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 to here for lines. this is tara to these control but ukraine, but they still cancelled threat of russian creation. and there's no cincy about

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 you know we've nowhere to go. our parents are gone and the situation isn't much better why my sister is in a far keeps group. as long as our apartment block is still standing 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 ashley speaking. yeah. what is up fox? my husband has 2 kids and i have we have no idea how they're doing. good ukrainian officials promised phone service 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 leave coupons. news comes through of 4 adults and a teenager wounded in yet more shilling may connelly reporting them. the united nations is wrapping up its 1st in person gathering of world leaders. since the start of the pandemic, rushes escalation of the war and ukraine has dominated proceedings in new york. the west led by the united states has condemned the kremlin for making veiled threats to use nuclear weapons. russia says, west and allies have become party to the conflict by supplying weapons to key sales or the w correspond. mckayla. cooper is in new york city for us and is following the meeting. it has you and resolved anything in terms of you crime while the un simply cons, because rasa is part of the security council. now it's task is to maintain

a peace and security in the world. and it is completely dysfunctional that is shown by the conflict in ukraine. so the short answer is no, nothing was resolved here. certainly when it comes to the conflict in ukraine that russian aggression there. but the biggest tangible outcome is that clearly the trend is shifting against rasa. and saggy la, brought the russian foreign minister was at pains to maintain the rhetoric that russia had been pushing from day one. that there was a liberation operation. that it was a suppression of russians while nobody is buying this here and more and more countries simply want this conflict to go away. russia is well on its way to becoming a pariah state in that set. the helps those aiela ally standing together trying to push back russia. now, notably china and india, 2 important un pause, have not openly condemned brushes, actions do we know where they stand? yet? this is a very interesting one. i mean,

it clearly would be in china's interest to see a europe continuing and the united states continue to struggle with this conflict but, but even to, to made a huge mistake this week. for sure. when he made that 2nd nuclear threat, as a wealthy does, we're gathering here. china wants to see itself in a role of a moderating force, but it wants this conflict to and it's been quite clear in signaling that and india to which is highly dependent on rasa. it because it's really so close, is also tangibly running out of patience, recognizing that that was actually started by the russian side. so it's a lot in the diplomatic detail, but also very key allies are increasing. that presser may be an implicit or direct, whether it's direct, we do not know, we're not in those conversations on vladimir putin to back on. so whatever he threatens now, he will be pretty much alone on the world stage. if he exacerbate that situation

any further, and also as many tiny countries, small countries here who are simply running out of patience because they want to talk about the effects of climate change that their people are feeling every day. and once again, ukraine dominated the agenda here. across one of jayla cooper, another reporting from new york city. thank you. no, iran's president has promised to investigate the death of a young woman in police custody moss armine was arrested by the morality police for allegedly not wearing a headscarf properly because has ignited a wave of violent anti government protests across iran. a wave of resistance not seen in years. iranian cities are engulfed in protests despite the use of force by police. people continue to come out on to the straits. the death of masa armine sparked these protests. women are angry at the state

dictating a strict dress code, but now the cause has become bigger. many men have join to and protest supporting the cause. have sprung up around the world. from here in canada to new york and spain. harvey iranian protestors 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 by mass, i mean his death is shaking the hard line iranian state. and we can now talk to taras if harry fall, she's or iran researcher us human rights watch in a washington atara, iran's president, as we've just heard, ordered the investigation of masa minis, death, how credible can a government investigation of this case be? i think the cause for the grounds for skepticism into the credibility of dis investigation are very well grounded over the past few months or longer have been numerous instances of police using violence against women. it's videos have gone

viral and drawn widespread criticism. but in none of those cases, we've seen any, any act of accountability. unfortunately, iranian authorities haven't very, a traveling record of an incredibly investigating allegations of abuse, particularly under detention. oh, we do continue to, oh, call for a transparent any been independent investigation. but i think the general public public's skepticism is it is right now at the same time, the regimes tone towards the protesters has hardened. what do you expect? how's this going to go on? so unfortunately, it seems like the iranian authorities are reverting to derek to go tactic when they see their facebook widespread calls for, for changing course, which is cracking down on protesters. we're getting reports of sophisticated

internet shut downs and restrictions on says to social media applications. we're getting reports of arrested political activists and, and human rights defenders. doors will remain out of where outside prison. because we had seen an escalation of crackdown over the past year. and we are seeing very worrying accounts and videos of excessive use of force and, and reports of death even to protest are increasing. so it seems like a authorities to go tactic is to come down with an iron fist. but i had never seen criticism against compulsory the job loss, so widespread and so diverse, within the iranian society and inside the country. so um, i think regardless of how these protest proceed, and unfortunately we're seeing warring signs of escalation of craft on that that should be called out. and iran should be put on notice for not not cracking down on

protest in the conversation and compulsory the job has moved forward and, and the growing demand is not something that iranian authorities can easily blash away. now you said, but there's some kind of new quality to these. a protest as a good give us hope that something might actually change this time on again pass or a piece of contest been blocked in a day. but the protests are only growing. these food is a much more diverse demographic lead and the ones you've seen over the past 3 years . and i think it's pretty, i iconic that they happened. and in demand for accountability and women's rights. i think this is pretty unique in the sense that ordinary women and men have come to the street. we've seen very iconic acts of defiance in demands for equality. and

that's not something that can easily be disregarded. and so even if the dust are repressed and again, we should, we should do everything in our power to make sure we're calling the iranian government out on those abuses. i did. the conversation has, has changed forever. toes verify iran with such a human rights force. thank you. thank you. germany law hoping to reach the finals of the nations league to help boost their confidence . father woke up in catawba, germany on the 2nd in their group, and could move to the top with a window of a hungry in life, say later today, they're still on beaten under coach 100 flick. that's 13 games on counting by the reason. slew of drawers has made it clear of us plenty of room for improvement. now germany, our favorites to win, but then not expecting an easy ride against the heart,

working hungarian site tonight, fish beaten vigor. they play very united, they're a team and i think that's noticeable everyone hustles for one another. that's what makes them so dangerous. they have excellent individual players in their team. even though when you hear hungary, you might not think that i am at home, been as my heard of the, but i have to say that the quality of the individual players is very good financing issue. they're good. now turning me from a light seizure is dw sports correspond. max max, how important is this match for germany? yes, it's important in 2 ways. as you said, hands if like once a progressed through the final 4 of the nation's league, and these are the last 2 competitive matches today against hungary and then on monday against england, before the kids are world cup, where germany, like all other nations, will likely not really have time for a training camp, but also henzy flick wants to advance to the final 4 because that would mean germany would have competitive fixtures to play next year ahead of the euros in

2024, which germany will be hosting. now as hosts they won't have to qualify, but also as many hosts have experienced in the past that does have the drawback of not having a lot of competitive action before such a tournament. so he wants to advance that fund 4 to guarantee germany, some cracking matches. next year and hungry are a formidable opponent. they beat england 5 mill last time out during the nation's league in june, and also held germany to a one, all drawn budapest. so expect to type match tonight, and so they also have been some coven cases in the squatters understand. how is that affected preparations for the match? yes, captain manuel noah and leon gretzky both of by and tested positive on wednesday on thursday. union blunt of dockman was also sent home after testing negative, but displaying symptoms and prior to the international break at micro voice also was injured. a real blow to him as he hopes to finally compete at an international

tournament for germany. so a, it's concerning thing for anti flickers. as i mentioned. there's not a lot of time or games before the guitar will cup, and he really would have liked to figure out his best team here in these 2 fixtures . now, as it is, he's gonna have to replace some of his key players and we'll have to field not his strongest 11th. now very quickly, there's a new tea member in town as well. tell us about that. yeah, and he's like still experimenting. he's caught up. i'm a better catch up the 20 year old who was born in paris to the camera union, former international serial bella, making his debut in the gemini squad, and potentially even making his debut from the subs bench later. but it's a sign that flick is still experimenting. he still doesn't seem to know quite his best back for him, but a catch up being a center back has really an outside chance of making the squad. but for flick, it's still about figuring out what is my best team ahead of this tournament, which begins in november. so really not a lot of time for him to decide on that back for and on some key attacking

positions as well as both chris on a nightmare. they're reporting from a light c. thank you max and that's it. from me and the new steam fun. i'll have an update for you, of course, at the top of the hour of the quick break up magazine. so eco, india looks at how the buses are serving a community in the himalayas. and remember, you can get your news around the clock on our website, that's d w dot call. i've got those in berlin for me and the team. thanks. whoa. whoa.
