promises a tough response with planned penalties for moscow to include a price cap on russian oil. also coming up not backing down more protests in iran, as women and girls, brave of government crackdown to demand an end to oppression. and a nobel prize for 3 pioneers of click chemistry, the royal swedish academy of sciences, the honors the trio for discovering a way to snap molecules together. technology that could help me cancer drugs more effective ah article really welcome to the show. russian president vladimir putin has signed laws, formalizing the incorporation of 4 ukrainian regions that were legally annex after

a series of discredited votes in cranium. president, following reza lansky, san ukrainian forces are making, quote, fast, and powerful advances and the southern region of her son in the east, the regional governor of lo hunter, said ukrainian forces had liberated 6 villages in the region. on wednesday the ukrainian flag going up again in a recaptured village in the hawk eve region, according to pro football, 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 lemon as locals q for aid ukrainian troops re took the key hub and 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 widespread criticism, putin said that changes will be made to the conscription rules for students, bella. 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? a woke up and i heard that sounds getting closer and closer. one of sibley's 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 keep claims or iranian made since september wednesdays attack was the closest they've come to the ukrainian capital. i spoke with john spencer who heads the urban warfare studies program at the madison policy for him in the united states. and i asked him how he saw the near daily gains for ukraine and russian set backs and the war the i see it is just that every day we wake up or we watch as the line moves, as ukraine still holds moment on. but they've had for weeks in advancing while russian formations are crumbling, to be honest. how do you think ukraine can keep up this momentum? yeah, the good. yet, only the russians can say that the ukrainians have fought this entire offensive. and really this whole war smarter. um,

you had taken advantage of your enemies weaknesses, not interrupting your enemy when he makes a mistake. you great, and you have to be careful not to overstretched themselves and being able to consolidate the gauge they achieve. but um, even in, in the south, in harrison's major advances in everything that i'm seeing, is there just a higher quality formation than what the russians have been able to put together after their defeat back in april? yeah, let me put, has now softened the criteria on who will be called up in this very unpopular draft . and do you think throwing more people at the problem is going to solve this very bad situation for russia on the battlefield? absolutely not. it's only only get tens of thousands more russian soldiers killed in ukraine. they're taking these draftees who may have served in the military at

one point and forcing them. mean actually they've had 3 times 4 times the amount of people they forced into ukraine. now, leaving rushes, the numbers of russian men who are escaping russia. but just adding men to the military. there is no infrastructure there, there are no unit cohesion. there are no officers in ceo's and can take these new soldiers and put them into a fighting formation. it's just going to get a lot more people killed and it won't help russia achieve any of its objectives. so what is russia strategy here at this point in the war? yeah, is it? i can't answer that question, but it's really beyond common sense. what's happening in putin is really taking the entire country down a road of a rogue nation. failed state. it's the dark path. i can't see any, any advances that they could put together in ukraine. me,

ukraine's getting stronger every day. their western support is flowing in their forehead. therefore, masons are actually getting smarter and stronger as they engage with the russians and learn from their operations of their conducting. it now obviously pushed into a corner and away russia has threatened to use nuclear weapons at, with the west stressing and seeking buttons were in seriously, but also vowing not to be intimidated by them. how big do you think the threat is i mean you had to take every threat from a nuclear armed country as a reasonable, as legitimate the foods really a, a nuclear terrorist. and he's a, he's a, a global leader who's threatening its neighbor with a nuclear weapon just because it's that desperate. and, but even in his desperation, i honestly think that there's no way that he'll use it. because every person you're every political leader, every regime has the number one insures,

his survival in the west in many nations have been very clear that if putin uses a weapon of mass destruction in ukraine, it will have catastrophic the consequences for him, for his military in ukraine in a black sea. i am for russia as a state, it would, it would just not make sense. it wouldn't help putin get to his goals, even his illegal goals. military for a john fencer in colorado, in the united states. thank you so much for your time tonight. but you european union has agreed to impose new sanctions on russia in response to the war in ukraine. these will include a cap on the price of russian oil exports. the security threats from russia is also on the table as members of the european parliament need and strasbourg. the commission president has told emmy peace that members days 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 price as solar is benefiting from me. and dw corresponding next sunday followed the day in the european parliament in strasbourg. 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 null and voided, they don't change any facts on the ground. they haven't very strong statements by any piece. some took to the stage, took 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 st tanks to ukraine. the left, on the other hand, has been asking to reopen diplomatic channels. in addition to sections, 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. toronto or there has been no letter in the anti government protest that have been sweeping the country. the unrest was triggered by the death of martha mi ni, a 22 year old woman who died last month in the custody of the country, so called morality police. she was arrested for allegedly violating iran strict islamic dress code. her death has john international condemnation and demonstrations of solidarity power. o. d. c university. students in it on are chanting women life and freedom. it's a slow context touching the hearts of many white including members of the european parliament. the hands of that redeem of them were lost in iran, is stained with blood. neither history know a law or god almighty will forgive you for the crimes against humanity that you are

committing against your own citizens. until the women of your on off we, we are going to stand with you. d n g m as id. when men lies freedom, friends doris flag to get bare nash adults extending their support with this symbolic act. oh, in it on the critic leadership sees restaurant enemies are behind the and d government demonstrations. these people have taken to the streets to support it on the green liter, ayatollah hominy. and the countries strict dress court ha, he job was the excuse of our enemies to destroy our unity. the u. s. and e aesrael are the root of all this unrest, just because they cannot fight us. they are trying to attack us by creating internal problems with the anti government buddhists eat on show no sign of

lifting up. full weeks on this lee to speak to you, posted online, appears to show female students heckling a member of food on spastic force that much feared better. military organization is blamed for the violent correct down on the demonstrations it of myself, many has clearly exposed the 4th lines that exist if they slumber country and that on to willingness to brutally crush any opposition that challenges its power. the nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to a trio of scientists for their advances in click chemistry, which allows molecules to be snapped together like pieces of lego, a panel of judges and sweden praised the scientists for creating, quote, an ingenious tool for building molecules, a process could have important applications intriguing and diagnosing diseases like

cancer. carolyn petrol, did stanford university in the us, more to melville at the university of copenhagen and denmark, and barry sharpness at scripps research was celebrated with the wells most prestigious prize and chemistry. thank you so much. all of you. i'm absolutely stunned. i'm. i'm sitting here. i can hardly breathe. i'm still not entirely positive that it's real, but it's getting really by the minute. the 3 scientific work is all about building blocks, but these blocks a slightly more complex than lego shop is found a way to collect 2 molecules together to make new materials. he was the 1st to come up with the idea of click chemistry more than 20 years ago. copper dramatically accelerates these click reactions. that was melville's discovery. when the focus shifts to human cells, copper isn't such a desirable way to connect molecules patrols. he found out sugar structures,

could lichens make molecules stick to cells? this means the pathways of drugs can be illuminated to trace their effectiveness. the materials you have this possibility of so drove modify materials to put, to click new activity. so on them you can have a surface and suddenly you say i want this to be on the bacterial and, and you click on that surface called pounded filter works against bacteria. so, or you want something that sort of takes up some life and on your so drove, you click a molecule like that on, on the surface. so it is all or the here. and there's a lot, a lot of big interests from the industry. also in this area, the scientists work has contributed a wealth of research to the study of diseases including drug development advances in dna sequencing and a new amine therapy for cancer. and a quick reminder of the top story were falling for you at this hour. the e u has agreed. a new round of sanctions against russia after moscow's illegal

annexation of 4 regions in ukraine. plant measures are set to include of price cap on russian oil washing dw news from berlin, coming up next. opec countries agree to slash oil out, but in the coming months that and more on business with my colleague ra, unequal, further from berlin. thank you so much for a company today with people and trucks injured when trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away at the border. families played on tags in syria for these critical illness with administrative.
