eights in the morning, a russian missile finds its target, a glass bridge, a major tourist attraction in the heart of the ukrainian capital security cameras, showing just how close one morning commuter comes to being caught up in the blast. across the city, a giant crater created by another strike just meters. mature jones play area many here a lucky to escape with their lives. who should i live over? elsewhere? residents, race to bomb shelters. among them, alayna, who recently fled the capital from her son, hoping it would be a safer environment. they want to destroy our people, our infrastructure, everything. i wouldn't know and i'm soon and we know by out. he so people, shooter, cecilia, i don't know how to say why he strikes on the capsule of the 1st since june and come after russia's president. putin blamed ukraine for a blast on

a bridge. lincoln crimea, with russia. the weekend, speaking on the streets of keith, ukraine's president accused moscow of trying to wipe his nation off the math. or bang, you the one a crate, panicking chaos not to want to destroy our energy system. right? the 2nd target is people. we can overall they deliberately chose such a time and such targets 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 cave was not the only target. dozens of russian rockets or so 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 apparent russian escalation, in this war, it appears to have only strengthened the spirit of the ukrainian people. and

instead, the depression is at i have totally different her emotion over all as he views people as angry, angry, and want to do fam though. ha houses, defends our families. our children are distributed right across ukraine, count the deadly cost and assess the damage of this attack. they know more may be to come short time ago. i got the latest from our correspond funny photo in keith was a relative recall night. in fact, there wasn't even an arid alert, and i think if city body many parts across the country, and in fact, just right now, as i'm speaking to you, the air raid is on also again for a key of city. in fact, we just received an emergency alerts via our phone of iso mass urging every want to really take this eric elgar seriously. because more misses strikes are expected a to day in ukraine. so obviously we are going to see shelter shortly after this with regard to the assessment. what exactly has happened yesterday?

i mean, obviously we are speaking here about more than 80 course, missiles that hit the country as a result, a lot of damage, a not only to infrastructure, but also as we have heard, there was a power outage in many parts of the country. all of that doesn't only need to be assessed, but also repaired. the fact that president zalinski i went in front of the camera yesterday and he's not the address a via social media, is a way of course to tell people to you about 1st of all, to see an alert. but at the same time, or to not cave in at to, to, to, to show to ukrainians that ukraine is now going to be intimidated, or even stopped by this, but to stay together and get through this. and no matter what. why, of course, at the same time, people, she and keith city as in many parts of the country, are on their shock. you have to imagine us for the course of the past months, at least there wasn't an attack at if not in this intensity as you have experienced it yesterday. so for the very 1st time actually i've heard people are trying to

think about with it. it was staying here, city a go towards a small of villages where they hope earth strikes will not be as common. and yet people are trying to come up with plans what to do as things have become quite uncertain here in the capital. so tell us funny, are people in care of them anticipating more strikes, looked like they saw yesterday? certainly. and in fact, i also realize that people to stake these air raid alerts and much more seriously than in the past wait, went on and people are walking down with a coffee on the street thinking, well, nothing is going to happen because key of cities not on the front lines would have very 1st time yesterday i've met people who said well to night meaning last night they're going to, you're actually look for protection in the nearby metro station. i mean, this is something that makes me recall the early days of the war with me here in february 24th at where people are. we are really seeking shelter in a mattress station not only for days,

but for weeks. also very practically when we went to the supermarket yesterday trying to get some emergency food ourselves. we saw other people stocking up on those items and some of the items we already sold out. so a just very practically you see that people are concerned. they are worried, but they are also quite angry because they just do not understand the sheer brutality. and of course, it's been happening over the course of the war. but the fact that russia keeps saying that they are only interested in military targets in infrastructure. but at the same time, you have a huge crate or just a block from here in a car and in near a playground and also in the middle of the street. so how is that then a military target, people ask themselves or ukraine's leaders optimistic? funny that weapons deliveries from his partners will now be expedited in light of what has just happened. well, at least this is what president zalinski asked for when he had a conversation with the u. s. president biden. yesterday who are said that yes,

more air defense system i going to arrive here. and of course in the light of the fact that you just finding out what happened here yesterday. not only capital, but across many ports of the country, local to the western. apart, for example, they live or if not just the leaders, but people who in general are hoping that this is sort of like a wake up call for the rest of the world. to see that what's happening here in ukraine can easily spill over to other countries. as russia may resort to not only cruise missiles, but many, many other weapons, namely, are the rhetoric that escalated their over the nuclear threat of from her vladimir putin. so yes, certainly are the leadership hopes that this is a wake of coal and more support is coming, both financially and militarily. funny. thank you very much. our correspond funny parcher in the ukrainian capital kid. well, in the russian capital moscow, there's been a mixed reaction to the strikes listening. it's an answer to terrorist who

destroyed the bridge. it was the 1000000000 infrastructure. no mercy for terrorists . no, it's not right. you can't one piece with me and made it knock on our patients has limits. the crimean bridges, russian infrastructure and ukrainians also have that kind of infrastructure. which is often i feel very thought that innocent people are dying, they don't. but if be a physician strike such, then it's all right, mr. underwater, we should have done it. so nose, 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. spring in our russia analyst cost team eggers here. konstantin. how are these missile attacks on ukrainian cities being reported in russia? well, i think that that was a very good selection of vom opinions so that we heard terry a 1st and foremost of all russians are being told by this by him off off state

media that strikes only concern the so called critical infrastructure military target. so if you watch russian tv, you would know that there are any strikes on the, on this, on the civilian population, civil in our targets. secondly, if you look at the russian public opinion influences on social media, those who are linked to the kremlin, there is undisguised glee at the strikes in it's going more and more into this complete revenge, total revenge mode. and i think that part of the population will be very much sort of susceptible to such an attitude. so i think that you will have a minority that will increasingly be horrified by the, by, by this brutality and the majority that will continue to support the government at just also for sometimes of the ceiling of blind revenge. because these people really think that your gradients are evil nazi these attacks constantine coincide

with the appointment of a new commander of russia's invading forces with him in charge. should we expect more indiscriminate shelling and missile attacks on civilian targets? yes, definitely. so general sort of begin or who has been appointed a couple of days ago actually doesn't have any other option. and he's known for this kind of a, to put it mildly, resolution in executing military goals. he's also a very talented bureaucrats who knows his way around and he knows i'm sure that he knows in the he understands that now put in want to revenge and he's going to deliver avenge for points. and so, alas, there's going to be more cruelty, more brutality, more indiscriminate attacks. g 7 countries are meeting with ukraine's president to day can key of expect a surge and military support. and if so,

could that increase the risk of this conflict spreading constitute? oh, the also to the 1st question, i think they're going to be kind of broad, broad, the outlined agreements on increasing held. but i expect more from the upcoming a diff, nato defense ministers meeting. ah, that will probably have more specifics in terms of supporting ukraine as for men or whether it's going to bring the conflict to a new level. it's definitely better to ask military analysts, but my feeling is that the entails that he's already very high. what i think will happen is that ukrainians will not stop attacking critical russian targets. and that will provoke, to turn into more rage that i'm sure of. i'm sure that because you grain is not baking down, put in, can't back down to this is, this is the logic. now. viruses president has ordered troops to deploy with russian

forces near ukraine. how likely is that better roost will now be fully involved in this war? oh, i think that not yet, terry. i suppose that the journal wisdom are in the region, is that the bill, russian army is not willing to fight in ukraine and lucre shank or a president lucas shrink will dictate. lucas and corolla. ah, is very much aware of that. it's not for nothing that he yesterday took a decision to subordinate bueller, russian cage, a b committee of state security directly to the president. i to himself. i think he understands that are on the want him, he's under pressure from putin and he may have to do something militarily, with regard to grain or the other hand. i'm sure he understands there's going to bring him consequences. that may be unpredictable now and very unpleasant for him

on. konstantin, thank you very much for your analysis. as always are russia analyst constantine agatha? well, germany has condemned the latest russian attacks and is promising to speed up the delivery of a long awaited air defense system to ukraine. the government says the 1st anti missile battery should arrive within days. this air defense system, the iris t as l 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. s l m ad offense systems to ukraine within days. the renewed miss,

i'll fire on keith, are many other cities. so how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems quickly. but the other 3 units will only be delivered next year, crushes a tax on civilian targets across ukraine, drove home to germany, just how important its support for keith is. for a minister analynn, i buy a book called the tax vile and promised berlin would do everything possible to strengthen ukraine's air defense. chancellor of shots also offered solidarity and support. the chancellor assured ukraine's president office on the devotee 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 civil infrastructure, such as electricity and heating saucy in response to russia's missile strikes. the group of 7 countries will hold a virtual meeting with ukraine and president leukemia zelinski 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. for more on this story, our political correspond, nina hasa joins us. nina, german defense miniature. christina lambert has promised to deliver this air defense system within days. ukraine has heard that promise before is germany's credibility on the line here. what is true that chancellor shots promised their system already back in june, and christina lumpkin used those words that the 1st system would arrive within days . she said that on the 2nd of october, all of that is true. and the german government does insist that these weapons are difficult to produce. they're not standing around,

they have to be manufactured and that can take time. but of course, there is another aspect to remember terry, to be honest when he comes to weapons deliveries as a journalist, you will probably never find yourself in a situation where you can say the tanks will be arriving on thursday at 2 o'clock. that's just simply too sensitive this issue and the military doesn't want the public to know details. because that would of course mean that the aggressor against whom the weapons would be use would also know when they're there. and they would then be able to prepare react, but yes, if shots in this defense minister don't announce very soon that the defense system has arrived in ukraine than that will turn into a big problem for the german government, especially in light of the latest attacks on cities like keith, ukraine's president below the muse lensky and g. 7 leaders are set to hold a video conference today under germany's chairmanship. what can we expect? anita will germantown slowly. so it's called a spontaneous video conference yesterday. so shortly after he had spoken with ukrainian president lensky about those terrible attacks on ukrainian cities. and so

it is currently charing. so he invited germany, france, u, k, the u. s. canada, italy and japan to sit together. all the leaders will discuss just how they can support ukraine, also in terms of maintaining ukrainians resolve. and that of course includes rebuilding the crucial infrastructure so that ukrainians can defend themselves and can keep up them around. stay with us, nina will be coming back to you in just a moment. but 1st we want to take a look at the situation of ukrainian refugees since the beginning of the war, more than 1000000 ukrainians have fled to germany. many german states are overwhelmed with the number of people seeking shelter and have asked the government for help. a summit at the interior ministry to day. we'll look at ways to distribute refugees more fairly and to ease the burden on the federal states. while the number of new refugees has declined over past months and some ukrainians have

moved back home many expecting that during the winter months more people will flee the fighting. dw christina christina went to a refugee shelter in the eastern germans city of unit to see how authorities there are coping. the cubicles in gina's admission center for refugee is may only be a few square meters in size. but those arriving feel lucky. there are still places available here. i work with about 2 thirds of the centers. 100 beds are currently occupied. it's director kiersten caught nick thinks it will probably be full by next month. as will all accommodations, indiana, to say who, who love to the city has reached the limit of its capacity. and i always been struggling with a shortage of living space. and you know, in general to them and accommodating even more people is pushing us to our limits. there are certainly other places where it's not as bad as here. but in, you know,

we're at our limit. accommodations are full, living space is scarce. many municipalities are saying the same thing. they no longer know where to shelter the people who are arriving as in 2015, when hundreds of thousands of refugees came to germany gymnasiums are being used as accommodation in many places, like here and nina. oh, this is underneath, this is the gym floor button that was covered with wooden panels and converted into a reception center with all of the individual living quarters. so the school can carry out its dim classes here really, the whole thing is very expensive because of the new beds, the cleaning costs and so on. and municipalities are left to deal with all of this on their own to community. many expect that even more people will come to germany from war torn ukraine during the winter, but from other places to the city of vienna is demanding more funds to deal with its onsite care of these people. as on mo,

this was very much hope that the federal government and the state government will support the situation financially for so far, we've had to finance everything ourselves up before i left. we don't know if we will ever see any of the money again. wouldn't la mouses, we haven't seen anything so far. what of us got nothing except promises special helps whiskey. the municipalities are hoping the government will help and that they will still have room in the winter for every one who arrives. our political correspond, nina, houses still with us, sir. so nina, we saw there that at least some of germany's regional leaders are saying they lacked capacity to take in more ukrainian refugees. how stretched are they? apparently they are very stretched. germany's interior ministry minister nancy phaser has called for a special summit today happening in berlin, where she's going to gather municipalities,

representatives as well as the regions representatives and try and find out just where the federal government can help. so germany after poland is the country that has taken in the highest number of refugees from ukraine, many municipalities they, they do need more support from berlin. and so nancy fizzer, the interior minister, is probably going to give more support in terms of, for example, using federal government buildings as shelters for the winter. she says german communities need to be better equipped to dealing with all those refugees in the winter when it's cold. and of course there's a very big issue to remember, terry, and if it's the support in the german population dwindles for ukrainians, that would, of course, put germany in a very bad situation because the german government maintains that he does want to give all it solidarity. you to ukraine and it needs the support from the german population for that need to thank you very much. our political correspondent, lena hasa,

say look at some other stories making headlines around the world to day. tourists have started arriving in japan again after the country lifted all. pandemic travel restrictions and for 2 and a half years visa, free travel is back for short term businesses and were short term business and tourism. for more than 60 nations japan hopes tourists will give its economy a much needed boost. workers in iran's energy sector have joined protests against the regime. these images from social media appeared to show workers from an oil refinery chanting anti government slogans and walking on the job. the student led protests continue to spread following the death of a 22 year old woman in police custody. the death tone in the massive mudslides that swept through a venezuelan town over the weekend has risen to 36 with another 56 people. still missing happened after hurricane julia pummeled the area with heavy rains. rescue

echoes to today's world. the anxieties about urban is ation. about an lettered, untutored, relatively an educated peoples 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 that 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 agreed and generosity exist. so every film rhymes what was surprising, what was startling is that as we began work in 2015 this i knew it would be speaking to the present, but i had no idea by the time i was finished,

how directly it 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 1900 thirty's. and then what we now call the holocaust, the fragility of civilized behavior is the one thing you really learn. these people who we now see in these photographs, the c p, a photographs and the 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 are these people were don't kid yourself. you know, this is the, with resonance for today. for the present. you're watching d. w news. just reminder, the top story we're following for you today. ukraine's present zalinski is due to
