kids tell people should shoot, i don't know how to say why the strikes on the capsule of the 1st since june and come up the russians president putin blamed ukraine for a blast on a bridge linking crimea with russia. the weekend, speaking on the streets of keith, ukraine's president accused moscow of trying to wipe his nation off the map. binding the one acquaint panic in chaos. they want to destroy our energy system. the 2nd target is people don't know, but they deliberately chose such a time and such a target in order to cause as much harm as possible. but we are ukrainians. we help each other. we believe in ourselves. we will restore everything that was destroyed and keep was not the only target. dozens of russian rockets also cause chaos and destruction in cities right across the country. several regions across ukraine have

been left without power after the strikes destroyed, key parts of the countries electricity. great. but despite the power russian escalation, in this war, it appears to have only strengthened the spirit of the ukrainian people. and instead, the depression is f. thank have doubled different emotion of all i see people is angry, angry, and want to defend the houses, defend our families, our children, just communities right across ukraine, count the deadly cost and assess the damage of this attack. they know more may be to come earlier. we asked of correspondence in key funny felicia, what she witnessed. i was getting ready for the day when i heard the 1st explosions . and 1st i didn't even attribute to explosions just later on. and i called my colleagues right away who were on the way to the office to find out what the effort and to confirm. but i actually right because it was just so unusual. in fact,

the last time i've heard such a big band was on february 24th when the fullest can invasion of russia started. but then of course we a journalist. so what do we do? we want to find out what exactly has happened. so we rushed to the scene where the so burnt cars at really, really if you looked at those cars, you could hardly imagine that anybody has gotten alive from those call racks. also, we have seen a huge crater in the middle of this road, which is quite frequented, especially during russia also by us pretty much every day because it's in the city center. and what i've seen was chaos. people panicking at the same time trying to understand where they should go. word do you actually feel safe and protected? and while i was trying to find out via an eye witness and what exactly he has experienced, we heard more explosions. so every one was i try to look for shelter, literally and running for the lives. so did we, and pretty much if you are now looking around and he, if city the streets are quite empty,

a people are inside and they are actually call them by the government and, and government officials to stay inside today. in fact, right now, also there's an air raid and active air aid alert, which means you have to stay in the shelters, which of course we're also going to do a shortly after this and from funny fashion in keith to the russian capital moscow . here. so some reacted to the strikes the it's an answer to terrorist to destroy the bridge. it was civilian infrastructure, no mercy for terrorists. no, it's not right. you can't. mon piece with more than our patient has limits the crime in bridges, russian infrastructure and ukrainians also have that kind of infrastructure which is awesome. i feel very sorry that innocent people are dying, but if they are sufficient stripe such, then it's all right. well, we should have done it so no, because it's an answer to aggression and i know it's a military question. you need to ask them, we follow what's going on,

but don't understand what's happening with your mind. for more on this, we asked d. w, russia analyst, run and gone to ranko, how the last few days might affect support for the war within russia. it is important to say that we do not have the scientific data reliable data on the northern rushing, the russian society. the pulls that we had in the past weeks suggest the majority of russians support this war, a relative majority. and demobilization that presently mcnaughton started a few weeks ago. he's not so popular as he would have expected. we see that we've hundreds of russian men leaving the country trying to escape from that village ation. so that a clear indication there is, there is a problem with his plan to record more men to fight against your brain as to the events of the last days. i would say my personal opinion is that the

society is getting more and more polarized. so people who supported this war before their support is growing, and people who are skeptical or maybe opposing this war, their opposition is also growing. but that opposition is relatively small. in their society. so i would suggest that in the coming weeks it will depend on how the situation will develop on the battlefield. and maybe that will bring some changes, but those changes are likely to be rather slow. i would say that was the w unless robin a gone to ranko talking to us a little earlier. while germany is promising to speed up the delivery of the long awaited a defense system to ukraine. the government says the 1st anti missile battery should arrive within days. this air defense system, the iris d, s o m, can intercept any air attacks within a 40 kilometer range and up to 20 kilometers high and can protect a large area on the ground. germany promised them to ukraine and june. and keith

has been waiting ever since. but now the 1st system is about to arrive. german defense minister christina lambert, said it had become a matter of urgency. germany will deliver the 1st of 4 iris t as a m ad offense systems to ukraine within days. the renewed myself, i on keith and many other cities shows how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems quickly. but the other 3 units will only be delivered next year . crashes attacks on civilian targets across ukraine drove home to germany, just how important that support for keith is for a minister anna lena bear bug called the attacks vial and promised berlin would do everything possible to strengthen ukraine's air defense. chancellor of shells also offer solidarity and support. the chancellor assured ukraine's president of the solidarity of germany and the other g 7 countries. he said,

germany would do everything possible to mobilize additional assistance, and in particular, to help repair destroyed civilian infrastructure, such as electricity and heating sources in response to russia's missile strikes. the group of 7 countries will hold a virtual meeting with ukraine and president le le gimme to zalinski on tuesday. germany currently holds the g 7 presidency and rebuilding damaged infrastructure is expected to be on the agenda. but the leading industrialized countries will be looking to agree on a coordinated response to further increased weapons and defense system deliveries to ukraine. the united nations is meeting in new york to the by the resolution condemning russia, illegal annexation of part of ukraine. russia vetoed a similar initiative last month in the security council, but moscow cannot block decisions of the $193.00 member general assembly,

which will vote on the resolution later. this will show i understood i taught for look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. work is in iran's energy sector, have joined protests against the regime. these images from social media appear to show workers from an oil refinery chanting anti government slogans. and walking off the job. student led protests continue to spread following the death of a 22 year old woman in police custody. the death toll in the massive mud slide slipped through. i venezuelan town over the weekend as reason to 36 with another 56 people still missing. what happened after hurricane julia pummeled the area with heavy rains rescued truce using drones and trained dogs in search and recovery from a german chancellor angler merkel has called for protection of refugee rock shoot you in refugee agencies. top level was given the prize in recognition of their role,

welcoming more than 1200000 refugees to germany during the 2015 micra classes. he was still mike. as completed an ambitious documentary on the holocaust, ken burns looks at america's response to the nazi threat and uncovered some awkward truths, burns documentaries, a hugely popular on us public television. he tells de w, washington, bureau chief innes pole. the holocaust related film is the most important he's ever made. it is an epic undertaking, a 3 part 6 hour series examining how the u. s. responded to the nazi threat and the holocaust at its findings are not always comfortable. we tell ourselves stories as a nation. one of the stories we tell ourselves as they were a land of immigrants. but in moments of crisis, it becomes very hard for us to live up to those stories. the u. s. and the

holocaust challenge is some of the established narratives. and the jeff thumb chilling echoes to today's world. the anxieties about urban ization, about an lettered, untutored, relatively uneducated people's coming in in large numbers. the sense that disease was a problem. all of these worries were amalgamated into a belief that immigrants caused these problems. you know, mark twain are great writer once said or is supposed to have said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. and there hasn't been a film that i worked on over the last nearly 50 years that hasn't rhymed in the present. and that's because human nature doesn't change. human behavior doesn't change the same, you know, degrees of virtue and villainy of greed and generosity exist. so every film rhymes what was surprising, what was startling is that as we began work in 2015,

i this i knew it would be speaking to the present, but i had no idea by the time i just finished how directly it would be speaking to the the rise of authoritarianism, the rise of anti semitic rhetoric, the rise of hate speech are the kinds of things that you see in the lead up from the american side and also from the german side to what happened in the 19 thirty's . and then what we now call the holocaust, the fragility of civilized behavior is the one thing you really learn, pers, these people who we now see in these photographs, the sepia photographs and they're receding into time. they're no different, no different from us. you look at your neighbors, the people at the dry cleaners, the waiters and the restaurant. that's who these people were. don't kid yourself. you know, this is the same sad story and unfortunately, you know, what it requires for it to take place is for good people to acquiesce and to not do

anything. and an important historical documentary for sure. and an important film with resonance for today for the present. the finally, a new record has been sit at an annual autumn competition. this john pumpkin groaned, and the midwestern state of minnesota was hold all the way to california were white in at. i've a 1160 kilograms sitting a new national record at the woodville prettiest pumpkin. went to a somewhat smaller entry. oh, it's open, our business is next. they with blue, with the bags and what's behind them. dw news africa, the show the back of the issue shaping the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally where the st.
