you can you describe for us exactly what has been happening there this morning? i know it's a rather chaotic situation. there been explosions, but walk us through what has happened in tea of this morning shortly after 80. i'm actually i was just preparing for the day when i heard several explosions. very, very close the door. how whenever they're saying, and a lot of my lot of the people where inside the building last job trying to find on for himself just what happened because it was still cold by turns out that was just a block away from where we are located. mainly obviously the key you sent one of the main road frequented by people logic going to work. we are actually using that, that road or the but the explosions of hit this morning pretty much every day. and as we watched to the scene, our vfc, the debris shattered glass, but we have 2,

several cars completely in black. we have seen a huge crate in the middle of all of the robots as we are trying to actually talk to i witnesses a describing what they have experience be even closer to the situation, the more explosion. so everybody was trying to look for cover. and this is a situation right now, we do not know how exactly these days going people. however, the governor of the free generals, the president, issued a cool everyone to stay in the shelters discontinued. now these strikes haven't been strikes like this. i haven't been seen in ts 4 months and this comes just 2 days after the crimea bridge explosion, which led me putin rushes, president called terrorism. is this the russian retaliation on ukraine? many have been anticipating definitely this is what it appears to be like. in fact,

the deputy chairman of the security council, mr. me a call yesterday that there must be a formal for the reaction for what happened on the crimea bridge. also today, the security council of rush is going to meet up. meaning probably what consequences are due to what they call was a how was asked and what happened on the bridge. so when you talk to people on the brown, the actually not surprised that this is happening. what they're actually shocked about is the fact that it's happening in the middle of p a. c t, a place. it's been relatively calm of the past month and i just went live overnight . yesterday. we got people on the train we, we've already returned to the capital city, so it's like so many other hundreds of others that have returned in the pasting for let's go funny. we've been getting reports that other cities not just have also been targeted this morning. do you have any information on that word about

other tasks on the places like for example, if you've been left and no less than politics, ukraine, also a town, it's been ready to be space from a bigger attacks in the past. but the also hearing about blast is for each region the fortune city, which was several times within the past 4 days alone. clearly a residential building, park, and building step not connected to any military targets. while at the same time, russia keeps claiming that the target is not civilian major about military headquarters in the coast and so on. but the reality on the ground and their experience to me try now very close yourself. a page, a completely different picture. if people who rushed to to work this morning, cool, we are preparing for today for monday that are experiencing the child she right now . for example, you funny. thank you very much,

our correspondent finding out there in the ukrainian capital q. well, officials in ukraine indeed say that the city of sa, parisha has seen a 2nd night of russian shelling. this comes after an explosion on a key bridge that with, as we mentioned, linking russia to occupied crimea. that explosion on the bridge happened on saturday. russian president vladimir putin, his new to hold a meeting of his security council to day. he called the explosion on that bridge, an act of terrorism by ukraine engulfed in flames, half de saturdays explosion. now, president putin has pin the blame on ukraine. there's no doubt it was a terrorist act directed to the destruction of critically important civilian infrastructure. and the authors, perpetrators on those who ordered us are the special services of ukraine wine. while ukraine hasn't claimed responsibility for the explosion,

the bridge which has since partially reopened, is a key supply route for russian forces in southern ukraine. and keith has previously threatened to targeted putins accusation came hours off to russian missiles toll through this apartment block in the southeast and city of separation . more than a dozen people were killed in the attack that hit multiple residential buildings in the city. which russia has struck repeatedly in recent weeks. as rescue, as in volunteers work to clear the rebel ukraine's president vladimir zalinski, condemned the latest strikes as terrorism, and urged the international community to take action. what did movie official designation of russia as a terrorist state, as needed designation at all levels within which we need a clear condemnation at all levels of every escalating step by russia or from terrorist attacks to the criminal attempt to annex our territory annex she. now she

did a duty that even as ukraine deals with the aftermath of yet another russian attack, that could be more suffering to come with putin poised to decide on a response to the crimea bridge explosion. to catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world this morning. north korea has released images of its leader kim jong own observing missile tests that state media claim were conducted by tactical nuclear weapons units. north korea has launched 7 ballistic missile tests in the past 2 weeks. it says in response to u. s. and south korean military drills, un secretary general antonio terrace, has proposed an international force to help haiti's police deal with armed gangs. those gangs have blocked the country's main port leading to a shortage of fuel and bottle water that's making a cholera outbreak worse. landslide in central venezuela has killed at least

25 people in rapid dozens more. missing the area, southwest caracas is struggling with heavy rainfall and flooding, which has led to several rivers breaking their banks. local officials say that a month's worth of rain fell in just 8 hours over the weekend. german foreign minister only in about bach has strongly condemned iran's response to ongoing protests. speaking with the german newspaper bid, she said iran's leaders are on the wrong side of history, adding she would ensure the you imposes entry bands and asset praises on those responsible for cracking down on the protesters. demonstrations following the death of a young woman detained by iran's morality police have been taking place for a month. activists of clashed with police and even managed to disrupt state media broadcasts, shape. millions of us tuning into iranian state tv were in for

a surprise. on saturday evening packers managed to interrupt to prime time use bulletin with an image of supreme leader ali khamenei in flames. the blood of the use is on your hands. it red beneath it were photos of women who act of a say were killed by security forces. de nationwide demonstrations show no sign of stopping despite entering their 4th week. they were sparked by the death of masa armine a 22 year old woman who died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly wearing her. he just incorrectly done according to reports, police used to tear gas and rubber bullets against demonstrations. he responded in kind with molotov cocktails. he runs leadership, met for an emergency session to deal with the wave of protests sweeping the country . afterwards, president abraham re easy address students that work out there some apparently

imagine they can achieve their evil goals at our universities. but our students and professors are alert. they will never allow this to happen. i got caught back to what state tv didn't show the president being viewed by students and told to resign october 10th marks, world day against the death penalty, a call to abolish capital punishment around the globe. last year, 18 countries including the united states, executed people. china is among those that refused to publish data on the death penalty that makes it almost impossible to know exactly how many people were executed worldwide. what we do know is that iran has one of the highest global execution rates, at least 314 people were executed there in 2021. that's according to amnesty international. that's up 28 percent on the year before 3 of those executed in iran

were under 18 at the time of their alleged crimes. many more people in iran have been sentenced to die on her waiting execution. the w persian service has spoken to one person who can't be identified his received the death penalty, but is currently on bail and does not know what will happen next. you know, when you get the death sentence, everything changes from that moment on. it seems that every one was different or everything was going very slowly. it's like my brain didn't want to and couldn't accept it. i was in deny. i couldn't believe that i received a death sentence called me after that my illness relapsed in prison. they did not give me my medicine at all. they didn't give me medicine until i was very sick. they had to take me to the hospital with 2 prison guards. do you know

what one of the guards said in front of me? he said he's been given a death sentence and he's going to be executed quickly. so why are they taking them to the hospital? what is the point? when my mother was told the verdict, she was at work and she fainted. whenever my parents called me in prison, they were sobbing, they both broke off for more rejoined, i love would a merry logo done. he's a professor of neuroscience at the university of oslo is also the director and co founder of the n g o iran human rights which monitors human rights violations in iran. thank you very much for being with us. now we just heard from an iranian who has the death sentence hanging over their head, you're a neuro scientist, can you tell us what that does to a person? good morning and well, you see the theme of the wall day is here,

is that the penalty road paved by torture. and as you could hear also from but, and the prisoner said life changes completely. we have talked to many prisoners, they are traumatized for the rest of the life. don't get the 8. we know the situation in the, on the detroit and a disaster and beside the process of being sentenced to death in iran. very often people are sent in to that based on confessions extracted by torture. so, so i don't think we can actually understand how it feels to be, to be on that role. how difficult is it to compile information about the use of the death penalty, any ra? well then iran in authorities do not announce all day q sions. so this morning just

published a report showing that at least 428 people have been executed in iran still far in 2022. 89 percent increase authority is announced only 12 percent of the execution. so about 88 percent have been documented by iraq on human rights. it's very difficult but. busy after about 15 years of monitoring that parity, we have a broad network enabling us to document and to confirm cases. so what we do, we, we get it from the life i witnessed as other prisoners, people within the system, families, lawyers. but it is difficult and reporting about the death penalty illegal and the person doing that can be sent into heavy reason or even death. okay,

just want to repeat that figure. you gave us $428.00 executions so far this year. you're calling that an 89 percent increase on the year before assuming this information is correct. why would you, why do you think that executions in iran are increasing to that degree? what did you say me, the number that we have managed to call them through to independent sources? and you see our research of the death penalty trends in the last 15 years shows that despite the fact that most people execute that are charged with charges like a homicide or drug trafficking, the timing of executions are very closely related to political events. when the authorities fear protests, they increase the number of execution so that the authorities as been expecting

protests in 2022 and, and we believe that their aim has been to create fear in the society to prevent protest. but obviously they have failed. you can also see in other countries, you know, the teachers that we have from dice isis when they took over syria and iraq is bit picture of math execution because death penalty is the main instrument of creating fear and political oppression for any behavior professor, thank you very much for talking with this, that was professor mode, a myriad moga, dum, director of the n g o iran human rights. stealth 5 years ago, a deadly islamist insurgency started in the north of mozambique, driven in part by land dispute sent access to jobs. since then, thousands of people had been killed and almost

a 1000000 displaced. that's every 3rd person in the northern province of cobbled delgado. while brutal attacks on civilians continue. some areas are now under control of the government. again, largely thanks to troops from other african countries that are supporting the mozambique an army dw was given rare access to join rwandan soldiers on patrol in moving boy dal preop, where the situation is slowly returning to normal. ah, a year ago this town was run by islamist insurgence. their main base was at the airport, but these troops chased them away. rwandan forces, supporting mozambique to day life is slowly getting back to normal. those who fled are returning. civil i'm in the of, of what some people were killed him were young, they were murdered. whether if they were slaughtered my hut into pieces in favor, so we ran away. but now that this piece, we decided to come back the road at the beach. the people resumed their livelihoods

and go out fishing again. com has also returned to the village of kings, displaced residence like abdullah, plenty back home after a whole year away seeking refuge, mostly by look. dunwoody applied to go figure, but there were gunshots. you go up, so we ran out of the house, getting get it in a pigment looking and then my father fell. he was also does that my you mom, mom as, as in the morning when we looked back and then my mother said abdullah, your father has been shot, but look, was now getting up sassy. let me begin. i waited by up on his body was left f a 3 day off on me got that he will see will taboo. when of dela pena, he came back, he found his home had been looted, but at least not burned down like many others. now he's trying to farm again. i can in the vienna way and go in a car. lots of the young people have no work, little kid that you know, they ship it very nothing. carsuella meanwhile, and potentially want an army arrived. we've had people just want my mother and i

can go to work in the fields again or what would be my, the mother debussy. you know, if you got me all the residents are relieved to be back, they're not happy with their government, which failed to protect them from the brutal insurgence. they also accused government troops of heavy handedness when they eventually arrived. dokie, we expected better from our country, man, when he got there, when they meters on the streets, they stopped on a mystery cars instead of going after the enemy. and that is that is that my yearly limit one with a new exam. one of the checkpoints, a young man on a motorcycle foul. the soldiers all started beating him until he died. i, i that killed a lot of people. it's not good him. we the soldiers deny the accusations and was a big defense. ministry has not responded to our questions on the claims. what certain though, is the conflict is far from over. in fact, it's moving further south, where attacks on villages are reported almost daily. now,

even in neighboring provinces, like non polar, farther away from where the troops from rwanda and the regional block static are based and keep moving southwards, so that is expected. so you just not need to maintain vigilance. the forces this sunday, as well as our own forces, will maintain vigilance in the areas that we occupy and for the areas that are beyond cupboard in regard to like napoleon and amazon become full, says we need to also up their game. that increased vigilance will be vital here because the residents worry, the threat could still return ah, immodestly, if it all her to berlin hosted fryeburg at a clash of 2 sides and radically different situations. i had only one when in 7 points going into this match. fryeburg, on the other hand,
