now to me become a forgotten sil pioneer ah, leaning hyphen shy and arnold fun. between hitler and hollywood in 1932, they set out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening a film project that became a major milestone in their lives. love seduction and power ice cold passion starts october 8th on d w. why don't we recruit and probably imagine this day to go a lot different. while he was busy signing into law the a legal annexation of 4 ukrainian territories. it was exactly there that keys troops pushed into areas that had been beyond their reach since the beginning of the war is not entirely clear where russia things it's illegitimately enlarged

territory now starts and ukraine ends, but the kremlin keeps the door open for further land grabs a vague announcement that god a clear response. ukraine calls it the act of a collective mad house and keys allies slapped russia with fresh, fresh round of sanctions on the call for life in berlin. and this is the day. ah, we will stand with o ukrainian friends, however long it takes today, i am proud to announce a new security assistance package. and now it's the time to keep trying to help the ukrainians to face down the invasion, to provide ukraine with more weapons, ammunition, and equipment that its forces are using so effectively on the battlefield. this is a moment to stay the course and to signal again to our ukrainian fence. we stay by

your side as long as it takes you crane can when you crane must win. a new crane will way also on the day beaten, abducted killed women and girls in iran refused to be silenced by authorities violently cracking down on their protest movement. garnering respect and solidarity around the world, the hands of the redeem of them were lost in iran, is stained with blood. neither history, not a law or god almighty will forgive you for the crimes against humanity that you're committing against your own citizens. ah, they will be with russia for ever said kremlin spokesperson. dmitri pess coughed a day as lottery boot and signed into law his illegal annexation of parts of ukraine. roughly the size of portugal,

the ukrainian president begs to differ. his forces continued to liberate settlements and formerly occupied areas, pushing russian troops into a hasty retreat on the day put and tried to change the facts on paper. keith changed them on the ground, claiming major breakthroughs in 2 of the annex territories. her son and the south and lou husk in the east view, the ukrainian flag going up again in a recaptured village in the hockey region. risky for just one of many places back under ukrainian control. as a result of recent advances, the blue and yellow flag is also back flying overhead. here in the strategic eastern city of la man as locals q for aid ukrainian troops re took the key hub in the dynette screeching over the weekend. just hours after rushes, president putin announced the illegal annexation of the whole region. signs of the

fierce battle fought here recently, as well as the months of russian occupation are everywhere. with russian troops forced to retreat here and across the south and east. and with a chaotic military mobilization sparking wide spread criticism, putin said that changes will be made to the conscription rules for students villa. but despite all the recent setbacks, moscow hasn't lost its power to strike far beyond the front lines. as residents of this city, just 85 kilometers south of keith were reminded on wednesday. do you prefer work up to a buzzing sound? i woke up with a hook that sounds getting closer and closer. one of sibley and somewhere near my house it exploded. according to officials, at least 6 so called kamikaze drone struck buildings,

including an army base in the area, injuring one person. while moscow has ramped up its use of suicide drones, which keith claims or iranian made since september wednesdays attack was the closest they've come to the ukrainian capital light of the most recent developments, the european union has agreed to impose new sanctions on russia. these will include a cap on the price of russian oil exports. the security threat from russia is also on the table at a meeting of members of the european parliament in strasburg. the e commission president has told emmy peas, that member states need to step up the security of their energy infrastructure was enough on the line also said that you is now ready to discuss a price cap on gas as prices sore, and winter approaches. oh, our correspondent max santa followed the session at the european parliament today and send us his assessment the european parliament this time around has not adopted

a final position on russia's aggression against ukraine yet. but from following the debates of the plenary, it seems evident that across political groups and across party lines, there is an understanding that russians claims to ukraine are illegal. they are nolan void and they don't change any facts on the ground. they're having some very strong statements by me piece some took to the stage to the podium, to call russia a terrorist state. now the common understanding seems to be that sanctions are needed. some political groups have been asking for more. in addition to that, the conservative block, for example, has been calling for weapons deliveries from countries like germany and france to send tanks to ukraine. the left, on the other hand, has been asking to reopen diplomatic channels in addition to sanctions. but bottom line here is that the european parliament and the you say that russia's claims to ukraine, this annexation is illegal and should not be tolerated. oh,

nothing on to iran where there has been no let up in the anti government protests that have been sweeping the country. the death of 22 year old, martha armine after being arrested by the morality police has sparked the biggest public challenge to iran's clerical leaders. and over a decade, dozens of protesters have been killed by security forces. all 4, demanding basic rights are defiance and the face of the rural crackdown is being met with solidarity around the world. power o d 's university students in it on are chanting women life and freedom. it's a slogan that stretching the hearts of many white, including members of the european parliament, the hands of the redeem of them were lost in iran, is stained with blood. neither history, no allah or god almighty will forgive you for the crimes against humanity that you're committing against your own citizens. until the women of your on off we,

we are going to stand with you. gian via as i g. one them lies, freedom, friends, doris lake, juliette burnish adults extending their support with this symbolic act. oh, in it, on the clerical leadership, faith, restaurant enemies are behind the anti government demonstrations. these people have taken to the streets to support it on supreme liter, ayatollah hominy, and the countries strict dress court, he job, was the excuse of our enemies to destroy our unity. the u. s. and e. israel are the root of all this unrest, just because they cannot fight us. they are trying to attack us by creating internal problems. but the anti government buddhists intend on show no sign of letting a full weeks on directly to speak, you posted online,

appears to show female students heckling a member to feed on spastic force. that much fear it, but a military organization is blamed for the violent correct down on the demonstrations. it did of myself, a mini has clearly exposed the fort lines that exist if they slumber country and that on the willingness to brutally crush any opposition that jet and just it's bible. let's bring it as it was on. she's a human rights researcher and writer focused on iran miss for is unwelcome to the day you have extensively studied women's rights movements in iran, in that context. where do you place the current protests? yes, thank you. i think that the women's rights movement in iran, that is, and basically it's over a 100 years old. so it's that i see that it was meant that we see today at the streets, the protest as

a continuation of many years of resistance and struggling against the discriminatory policies of the public. but also a continuation of the protest movements against the government. a violation of multiplicity of rights. and you see in terms of protest in 2017, 2000. and i think in terms of women's participation, you see women in many protests, the contemporary iran and the quite actively. so, but i think it's being so gender and women's rights not only being about women's rights, but being so intertwined with the political and grievances and political demands, the entire nation is unique. so for example, in their revolution, women were present in the 1979, but may say that there are no such gender demands from that previous previous

a government. would you say that women taking the lead in this protest movement is a sign of a greater shift in iranian society? i think that women taking the lead in that process is a sign of iran that iranian peoples majority. so women and people that reach the point that they do not think that freedom is attainable without women's rights and women feeling the fines in iran. and that women's rights is not attainable, a 100 islam. so therefore, women's rights and freedom and along with other rights social, economic and civil political rights have come together on this street with women at the center of it and demanding for essentially what i think is

a better future and more dignified future. and also highlight the role of the use alongside it is very dangerous for those participating in the protests to publicly talk about their part in the movement and the repression they've suffered at the hands of the authorities. you're in portugal, but i bet you're in touch with a lot of people back home. would you mind telling us what you're hearing from friends and activists in iran? yes, i am mostly in off. is that the ordinary people who before on for example, on my social media, i've never seen them putting anything political remotely political you know, even posting, for example, like a letter that they have received from the court to attend as a result of having it. and that the protest or they lunch leave, you know, posting anti government slogans and, and so on whenever they have access to the very limited internet. actually this,

i'm particular, very difficult situation because the iranian regime is not only addressing people who are in the streets. they're actually going after people and that they consider maybe influential in the expansion of these folks, whether they're journalist authors activities and so on and they arrest them from home. so. 2 for example, i know a few personally who are currently in jail and nobody knows of their exact whereabouts. this is currently a leaderless movement. is that an advantage or disadvantage? i will say it's yet to be seen, but it has its pros and cons. what i think is, is so, and so hopeful about this movement is that it's so grass, so ok, so organic, and i think that's what makes it a very powerful, very collective in a way, in terms of it's not having to leave. my worry is because of that very systematic

and systemic repression and the violence against the people against the use of lethal or even if there was a lead there. maybe there could be more strategy on what's next. but at the same time, i feel that we have to trust those incredible young leaders on the ground and just trust that they are very strategic about what they're doing and that they know what their next move will be and to honor and respect to whatever it is that they will do next for example, that they can to put that on to strikes. i think there's a lot of wisdom behind that, and that's leadership just may not be individual based leadership. it's more like a collective grass level leave. how important is it for this grassroots movement that it be covered by the media around the world?

i think it's critical is absolutely critical because my, the way i talk about it is that why is this a good public shutting down the internet restricting the internet? so seriously, on those the, the early, every time there is a protest in iraq because they don't want the world to know because they want to be able to kill people without the world knowing about it. and so they don't want the world to watch and then the world watches, i think it does in the long run, give some level of protection to the individuals, why racing their lives. some, i mean at least that there is a little bit of a fear and then the, you know, that the, what they're doing will have consequences. but also, you know, iranian women, you send the right people really want to be hired by the world because they, they don't think that they're going to ever be hurt by their own government. and so if the world here, perhaps places like that un,

and i don't my lateral organization, countries like germany, good things more seriously about holding this, i make republic, syria accountable for human rights researcher as a present on the protest in iran. thanks a lot. thank you. ah, toughness and now we're women. 2 are refusing to be silence despite mounting repression and violence from the rolling taliban since the militants return to power, they have turned afghan, astounding to the world's only country, where girls are forbidden from attending secondary school, solely because they are girls. but even studying where it's allowed is dangerous for a young women last week, a private education center and cobble was blown up by a suicide bomber. nobody has claimed the attack that according to the un left over 50 people dead. most of them girls and women of the has are

a minority. the women who took to the streets over the bombing demanding security freedom. an equal rights faced yet more violence. dozens of young women standing up for their roy to be better protected and to heaven education taliban officials wheeled sticks to break up the crowd. bengal fires heard and the women scramble in panic. c the produce were in response to a bomb attack on a private education center. in kabul, a suicide bomber blew himself up in the women's section of agenda. segregated hall was students were preparing for university entrance exams. most of the victims were girls and young women who belong to the minority has ara community 19 year old. why here was in the classroom when the attack happened. 2 of her friends and

the teacher were killed. she managed to escape. she says she won't be intimidated. mortalities get that. the only thing we have is education. education is our weapon and they want to take this weapon from us. i am, i want to study law and management and diplomacy because i want to be an influential politician buddy. that's it was like why? yeah. oh my, my mean also had big ambitions. i now have photos in her school books are all her family have left of her pleasure in getting my daughter used to joke with me and say, and i will study until one day i become president or a lawyer and served the people of afghanistan that their phone but she was martyred, done while his napkin. oh my, the nene was one of the young women killed in the attack. her family pray at her

grave. and her sister vows that she won't give up. will cunning of really worried? it is hard for us, all the schools are closed for girls of that. oh, by sure how that it is. you know, this is very painful, but we will continue with the lessons and we will never give up or stop. and i asked him, we didn't, i don't bellanca or even brutal attacks like this one haven't crushed the resolve of young african women to keep up their fight for an education. let's keep talking about these brave young women and bring in sima samar and she's a veteran. human rights activist, she served as the minister of women's affairs in afghanistan, after the overthrow of the taliban. she's also headed the independent afghanistan human rights commission. welcome miss them where it's a pleasure. and let's start by talking about that a tac last week. it was the bloodiest since the taliban takeover last year. what's your reaction as an advocate for women's rights and a member of the has are a community? well, i think it's

a journey site. it's not the new one. it's not the only one. i just thought it would be the last one, but if you see that it was last year, such a big explosion in front of the school. then some of the girls who survived survived that back in 2021. they would kill them this one. this shows. 1 how one of these people are. and then 1st, because this is the 2nd thing because of their birth. and because they are getting education, can you imagine and any people should be punished because they're getting education . and unfortunately, as you said, the son is the only country that officially could been on goods education from 7 to 12th grade. the telephone, trying to violently crush the protests that followed the attack. but the women don't seem to be deterred. where does that fearlessness come from?

well i think that if you see, after the government collapse last year, that all you people who are on the street were dormant and they were small number. but it shows that the they want to resist and they went pretty them and they won't work. and they want their rights to be recognized and, and so this time would be the killing of these goods and not so much going on in the region and the protest scenario. and actually we keep saying that maybe they are inspired by asking price by them. and there's no doubt that they have an impact on each other in that it shows that the people are really in woman particularly oh, really tired of erasing from the public life. and the from the life that they have is, is this a sign you think that despite all their efforts that alban won't be able to undo

all the advancements of the past 20 years in afghanistan. but i think they tried everything and they tried to silence woman. but the, i believe that we of course, to the complaint and say that we have lost a lot everything almost 2 years in the last 20 years. but i think this is the sign that they cannot take the knowledge from that. and they cannot really impose the restriction on freedoms and rights of the people who would push tatty with terrorizing people. and that is a good time that is a hope for the future of the country. and i think i feel i salute that my sister is in and it's on and also in that on who really take the risk and coming up for, for human rights and for quality in for free them in our region. you now live in the united states. how are you keeping up the fight for,

for women's rights in your home country? well i think i believe that if we need to continue and continue this struggle i, if this is not 1st time that i can do for g, i was referred you for 17 years and talk to them. and i continued to help on education and health or whatever, i could give them knowledge. and i believe that not giving knowledge is the most strongest tool to fight for inequality and fight for rights in free the men or any country, including in my country. so i think i lobby at least, but i really feel vulnerable that i'm not in the country and i'm outside of the country. i feel the pain. i feel that the situation that my people are in. and i think that the international community silence, or only condemnation is not enough and make me like whatever is going on and

understand it has an impact on the other word. and we are are and it is the case. and a father, son is a collective really and, and we have to stand for this because if we are not free enough on his son, i don't know how that people would think that they are free. it is an act against human dignity. what would you like for the international community to do to elevate the voices of african women and girls? i think they have to, 1st of all they have to really stand with the people and not only the women and a fun, but also the minorities who are under attack and particularly the has on this. it's not new. they have done it in the 1st government and, and continue to, to be the case for and more than 100 years. and i found the added issue, i think i called on the initial community that to promote the accountability and justice for all of these. and then there's some crimes committed enough on his honest talk the country of impunity. because if he stole the customer pin easy

enough on his and i think the other part of the world will benefit from this justice because in justice and honest. and i think his injustice every so if you were doing for promoting accountability and justice and in war crimes and crimes against commodity enough on, i think it would have been much better word today, rather than just doing and watching. and i think the international community couldn't put pressure on on being gauge with them and then put pressure on them on issues of human rights. we cannot really negotiate with probably one on the issues of human rights and protection of rights. have some people in minorities in the country the my summer, she's the former minister of women's affairs in afghanistan. thank you so much for your time tonight and all those in science. thank you so much and that is our time
