a resolute response. ukraine continues to regain territory in areas claims by moscow. president zalinski says troops have liberated more towns in several regions of the major gaines in the east ukrainian forces. and now pressing the account for offensive in the southern region of hassan and iran, supreme leader breaks the silence on anti government protests and accuses the u. s . and israel of planning the demonstrations iran's biggest in years he calls the death of a young woman in police custody a tragedy. ah, i've been fooling welcome. north korea has fired a ballistic missile over northern japan. it's the 1st time this is happened in 5 years. authorities in tokyo and so confirmed the lodge saying the missile flew 4000 kilometers before falling into the pacific ocean,

japanese prime minister for yoke issued or condemned the act calling it outrageous . the government alerted residence in northeastern regions to evacuate to shelters . it also halted some trains as a precaution we asked journalist michael pen in tokyo to explain the significance of the missile, actually flying over japan. well, politically speaking, it's very significant because you know this, you know, most of these missile tests when we hear about north korean missile test, they're just fired from the coast and they land in the sea of japan. and this is of concern to, you know, people, perhaps fishermen or people who are doing shipping. but if we're in this case, we're talking about actually going over the japanese islands, which means that for example, there's a technical problem. it very well could land in japan and, and basically constituted an attack or shot down, or if there's an attempt to shoot down one of these missiles that's also could lead

to the missile coming down in japanese territory and possibly causing loss of life . so i think that to not just a government, but the japanese people themselves become quite alarmed in cases when north korea fires missiles over the islands. ukrainian forces have broken through russian defenses in the south of the country while expanding their rapid offensive in the east. is seizing back military training areas annexed by russia and threatening supply lines for its troops. russian insult officials have acknowledged ukraine's advances in the his own region. one of 4 that russia legally antics last week, ukrainian troops is said to have gained territory as much as 30 kilometers away from way at the front store just days ago. troops raising the flag, allegedly in his son, which had just been illegally annexed by russia. in donetta, another region, russia claims as its own ukrainians ride through in tanks. some of them captured

and still bearing the russian war symbol. zed oliver the ga, ga. gov. rumble him on her thrashing. ha ha rotten wiggle. i know. ah, this her machine ah, will work for our arm for no russia recently announced it was annexing for regions of ukraine, ukrainian troops cape, recapturing territory. they achieved their biggest great through in the south since the war began. shortly after pushing soldiers out of the strategically important city of lemon in the working now ukrainian president, the lot amused lensky says, the army has liberated new towns in a number of areas where i live with junior, for the day, the offensive movement of our army and all our defenders continued unity,

there are new liberated settlements in several regions that are fierce fighting continues in many areas of the front or it comes as president putin faces increasing problems with manpower, logistics and morale, as well as thousands of men fleeing russia after being called up to fight in a morale boost for ukraine fighters who defended the as of styles. steel plant in the besieged city of mary paul were united with their families. the ukrainian troops were part of a prisoner swap, broken by a turkey where the fighters will remain until the end of the war. when these families hope to be back together again for good. t w. c. connelly is in keith. how significant are the latest ukrainian gates were certainly we spent the whole summer expecting some kind of moving in for so that was what the ukraine need ship was talking about endlessly in the end. it

didn't happen. all the activity was in forgive and her son was beside show that is now definitely changing as the actual scale of these developments is pretty difficult to tell if mation kind of trickles down and out to the us kind of here and here a day or 2 later, the cranium is very good at keeping it all the details pretty, pretty secret. we actually find out more from brush military blogs. they're certainly starting to blame. games is real sense of panic on the russian side, even among people who support this invasion. a sense that there's a different parts of rush assessment, blaming each other for these setbacks, and really no real idea of how they can really end this ukranian advance and mobilized of forces. there's newly called up people who often don't have any better experience or not reaching the front lines in the numbers and with the training needed to really change anything about all this. nick has russia a legal annexation of land changed anything? we've not seen the ukrainians yet. take any notice of the said the cranium,

government and talk figures here have completely said this is basically a bit of political theatrics and change nothing on the ground legally, in that. so see an opinion that shared internationally no one outside russia has recognized these referendums of this annexation just to give you a sense of the chaos and the kind of meltdown going on in moscow right now. we heard yesterday from mitchell, pest cove push and spokesperson saying that they still hadn't quite sighted on the exact borders of what they were going to annex if they were gonna claim the entirety of the donates can launch regions as they are administrative regions or if they were just going to claim the bits that had been under russian controls in 2014 as was approaching her. so they said they would talk to the local so sense that they're all this, the theater in moscow, this big event, the be kind of a attempt to try and show that russia was regaining initiative. is it built on very, very shaky foundations and a sense that near russia can't really get it? so restrict vanelle, how a dropping temperatures going to change the dynamic was if me

a sense that this is all gonna slow down in a couple of months, time wants temperatures drop. that was always the pattern in dumbass in 2014 but winter saw far less the way of fighting and movement on the front lines were seen ukraine already, a call for help from western countries in terms of supplies, winter uniforms, boots and they are now as we understand on their way, i think the bigger kind of development will be those mobilization forces from russia. there is a sense that russia is going for more than 300000 new troops that they talked about when this was announced. and it was yet upwards of 1000000 soldiers probably coming this way. what's qualifications they have? what training they'll have and what supplies is a different question. but there is a sense that ukraine is now trying to basically make the most of this sweet spot right now. where ukraine often has more boots on the ground than russia and those west to weapons. i'll make a real difference before you know russia has a chance to restock and to resupply. so ukraine, try me a push back, put and add double down until the winter stops things and you know,

try and push those russian frontline back as far as possible economy. thanks for your extensive reporting thread is will let's take a look at some of the other stories making news. you as president biden is arrived in puerto rico, his 1st visit since harrington. fiona devastated the island last month of $100000.00. people are still without power after fiona caused catastrophic flooding and lance lights by his pledge not to abandon the island as a rebuilds after it's the 2nd major hurricane in 5 years. in indonesia, a police chief has been fighting 9 offices, suspended after a weekend stampeded a football stadium that the 125 people did. a spokesman said belong city's head of police has been replaced as part of an inquiry into the tragedy. dozens more officers are being investigated for an ethical behavior. at least 20 people, including senior regional officials, have been killed in 2 count bombings in the capital of somali as iran reject

. a country. he called a debt of martha, many tragic but ceased. the demonstrations are not an organic grassroots movement and he is fully backing. the security forces had been debit serrato museum, who did the planning for the protests. i say it is clear that the planning was done by america, the fake zionist regime in their followers. that don't boiler oil not despite the violent crack down the protests, i'm not dying down, did i report the student sticking to the streets? invidious cities, defeat your sure security forces, dispersing a crowd outside the university embed on the demonstration for all to spread to many parts of the white. like here in is dumpling turkey with its big community of advice. it onions the mon, monday, bashing beneatha lunch. so give hon not forget the job. i want the whole world to

hear from us here. we do not want on a slamming government. we do not want marolla to police, shot him death to how many bad many. we couldn't all my to we are on because the arrest us. so we came here to show or power because, you know, this we, we don't want is la make republic of iraq. we just want freedom. iran in it on the protest. f continue to challenge the hard line government with many demanding an end of the more than 4 decades long islamic rolled small. let's talk to iran, analyst at none. tabitha bye is with us from jerusalem. off in germany. what do you make of ayatollah home and age? blaming of the demonstrations on the us and israel, this narrative of protest it's happening in iran is really nothing new. what he feels he needs to do is to in fact, galvanized the security apparatus to make sure that the protests and,

and by discrediting protesters as entities of or as agents of western entities. and he can't, he can in fact encourage them to, to, to how brutal, correct them, what is new is that these protests are going on for so long. how surprised valued by the demonstrators resilience the resilience is quite impressive, of course, and considering how dangerous it is to go on the streets. the numbers are low in total across the country, but it still is significant because there is a 2nd and 3rd and 4th circle behind these protesters in solidarity with what they're demanding. if the numbers aren't that big, how much of a threat do they pause then? to the regime look they, they may not pose a threat to the political order of the country, but they certainly have had an impact on some of its conduct and some of its law enforcement. and i'm quite sure that there is no real business as usual,

possible after these protests, in terms of the morality police for example. so something has to give here in order for this not to become a threat in the future. what's going to kind of do you think, how do you think this is going to progress? i guess i can see a lot of criticism, even on the political level with regards to the mandatory he job with regards to the morale, so called moloch, morality, police, so that can be a field in which minor changes might be introduced. but that, that's going to be enough for those on the streets. we will of course have to wait and see. because the people on the strange, one total chance they don't just want a couple lowest change. they're unhappy with the regime on that. so that it's true, and this is why it's significant to think of numbers to think ok, how many of these people on the streets and how many of them do really have strong solidarity, which will continue to demand that the system as such, collapses, or how many people will then say ok let's, let's move for gradual reform. this is

a question we cannot answer today. is there something more he international community can too far sanctions go to put pressure on iran, not only from the inside, but also from outside. it is significant, even if it's only symbolically, i think the sanctions do not necessarily change political attitudes and political actions of political elite. they have negative impact on society, but on society. but at least there is international sorts solidarity and there is some outrage voiced i think this is not in sydney, i'll have to leave it there. thank you very much, thomas. thank you. i've been for zola keep watching the dealt with . how did she.
