ah, you paid won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on d w ah ah, this is d w. news live it from berlin to night. allies standing firm with ukraine as russia launches more rocket angel strikes. a 2nd wave of attacks on cities. as again targeted people and power supply presidents zalinski, appealing to allies to strengthen ukraine's anti missile defense. also coming up, the head of nato says that vladimir putin must in the war by withdrawing russian

forces from ukraine. and he says air attacks on civilians show that moscow is running out of alternatives. and iran's kurds clashing with security forces in a month that has seen unrest over the death of a young kurdish woman in police custody to night, trying to find out what the protesters want. oh, lou. i'm burned. gov. it's good to have you with us, and we begin tonight with a pledge to help ukraine as long as it takes that coming today from allies of ukraine. at the same time, russia was unleashing of 2nd wave of missile and drone attacks. in as many days the bombardment has again targeted civilians and the power grit. ukraine says that the strikes have killed at least 90 people. leaders of the g subbing group of nations today condemned these latest attacks,

linden indiscriminate. they are vowing to hold why the mere putin to kill this scene. if a reminder boy is still at the doorstep in the morning hours, many in keith are taking shelter in this supposition. they have been warned by the eerie silence the theme time fresh and strikes had hit on monday. oh yes. it's terrorism. you understand that you are not safe at home, even if there's no infrastructure near by. 2 walls in a basement will not save. you recently evolve, remember, ukrainians are starting to repair the damage. the russians targeted both stations but also playgrounds. jimmy shimmers that in out that say this can't be compared with any thing. it's him as a king. it's desperation with no n bullshit. not to prove that they continued to attack us as any of them were more

with them. they keep scaring ansible that we will resist the right. you know, i'm going to work now. of course we hired and look for a safe space to shelter west scan for our lives. yeah. what is a viable? the southern city of the parisha faced the new round of freshen messiah at depth. a worker at this get out was skilled and the building was destroyed. so no 3 horrible those hearts were expressed with words underwood this morning. one of our co workers results and our company's gone once to submit a low to the 50 people on our without a job rattling and another company nearby has been destroyed to put new schools will go move much a little sheet. russia faith. it does not target civilians, but the broken windows and destroyed homes showed the devastation that ukrainian people are enduring. are corresponded in key, but he has building gird told me about the latest russian attacks to

today. what is your was hit again? patricia has been the focus of russian shelling for the past few days. it's one of the worst hit places in this war, hitting especially civilian infrastructure and department blogs. many people have died there at most likely because it's very close to the front line and they can hit it much more easily with cheaper weapons which are more abundant in their stocks. and also we have seen a tax again on energy infrastructure in western ukraine and beef and in central ukraine and vineyards. there were also rockets fired on key, but they were intercepted before they reached the city. the city here is still looming from yesterday's attacks. if you can look behind me, it's much darker than usually at night. that's because the street lights are off measure to save energy. we also have polish shortage is power in residential

areas today because it's not fully restored yet. and like he's the ukrainian foreign ministry today, accused russia of deliberately targeting these power plants, for example, the energy infrastructure of the country. and you've been hearing that i mean, russia has even said that russian official military official said that russia had successfully targeted military targets. and energy targets, so they, they do not deny this, and it has been expected somehow that russia would do this before the beginning of winter because that's, of course, something where you can hit the population. russia has been hitting, has been targeting this 1000000 population here, probably expecting them to photo or to break a resiliency a,

which it never has achieved the opposite is true. people are more determined to fight this war. the more civilians are targeted because they have the feeling if the russians would, when they would be much worse off. he'd have, he's met, he is really good tonight with the latest from he, but he is, is always thinking nato is preparing for 2 days of talks on ukraine. it had, he installed bag data that nato members will have to replenish weapons stockpiles that had been depleted by the war or corresponded terry shoulds. she asked thornton beg today about a possible risk to nato security by sending so many weapons to ukraine. mr. general, you said that you will be making decisions at this meeting about how to increase national stockpiles and keep your keep your arsenals full while supplying more to ukraine. but for example, with the air defense, the air to air missiles system that germany is sending, that was something that germany was expecting to order for itself. estonia has sent

its entire shipment of javelins to ukraine. so are you worried that while allies are supplying ukraine with everything they can, they are leading themselves unprotected at home and what will be your deliverables out of this meeting that will change that in terms of manufacturing processing, streamlining them so they dollars have provided unprecedented support to ukrainian or with the capabilities, the weapons, ammunition the different types of mean co support and that is something of course we welcome on that. we have encouraged this from an athol ever since the invasions thought that actually we, we did that before. the invasion. we have to remember that nato allies have broad support to crane since 2014, including attending tens of thousands of ukraine officers, solders which are now paying a key role in the offense against the russian. again, aggression against ukraine, but often invasion. alice stepped up and of course very much of the support to

faith all us hope for why did the javelins, the air defense systems, the ammunition to have for one to 2 crane that has been taken from the c existing stocks. so by doing that, they have reduced their stocks. but that has been the right thing to do that because it is important for all of us that ukraine winds up the battle, the war against the invading russian forces. it was the head of nita instantly speaking with w. terry schultz. let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. israel says that it has reached historic agreement with neighboring lebanon over the 2 countries shared maritime borders. the u. s mediated deal ins, a territorial dispute that has lasted for years and it unlocks rich natural gas reserves. it's hoped that this could improve ties between the 2 countries, which do not have diplomatic relations. climate activist gratitude,

beg says it would be a mistake for germany to shut down its nuclear power plants. if that means burning more coal, the coalition government is debating that very issue. germany restarted some coal power generation. when russia began cutting energy supplies, nasa says that it succeeded in altering an asteroids orbit when it crashed a spacecraft into the rock last month. this is the 1st time that humans have deliberately changed the orbit of a celestial onto the space agency was testing plants and keys. it needs to save earth from a future collision. human rights groups are increasingly alarmed by iran crack down on its western kurdistan region. protests are spreading over the death of gina must. i mean him. the young kurdish woman was detained by the so called morality police for allegedly breaking iran's strict islamic dress. code,

wyatt police and fired on demonstrators in the provincial capital. said on guns. human rights groups say at least 7 people had been killed in recent days, and this video appears to show security, which is a motorbike clashing with protesters. earlier we spoke to come run martine, a senior lecturer on international politics at the university of sussex. he's following the protests in iran closely and i asked him what he is hearing from said untouched, and other cities in the re what we are seeing, you know, given the intermittent access people out to intern, despite that the dinner post, which come out of the region and indicate 2 things. one is that the security forces and even military forces have mass in the city of sun. and the address is the provincial capital city of the province of cornerstone. and for 25 days in road,

they have been kind of repressing to protest. as many people have been killed and injured, they have been firing as semi even heavy guns into, into people's houses and so on. and more more troops apparently coming from the provinces into that particular city, which has a history of resisting this republic from the early years of devolution. the 2nd developing is that iranian army and military and revolutionary gods are deploying huge number of troops near the iraqi border. the iraq coordinates on board and there are reports that they might actually launch a ground defensive against what they described scottish iranian opposition groups camps across the border. so this seems to be part of the regimes attempt to divert attention from the protests and also provoke kurdish groups into military action in order to kind of create a pretext for intensification of their oppression in the cities and in other parts

of the country. and this is also, i mean, does it tell you that the islamic republic considers the kurds to be the biggest threat to power? well, i mean, to the extent that kurdish position groups are among the most organized groups and kurdish society neuron generally is very organized politically. as you might be aware that this a new round of protests in iran, which is quite unprecedented in terms of duration and scale, i'm spread across iran, began from protest following the burial of the now are my 5 me home. you mentioned earlier in the, in the program and also following a general strike in which was called by the traditional position groups. and this quickly spread to the rest of iran. so for green, go to some kind of strategically important in that sense both in terms of its kind

of leading position in terms of the domestic politics. but also in terms of conditions, organizations, college political parties which have a long history of organized activity. and in that sense, they kind of fear them in terms of the regime becomes unstable and they might kind of arrive or intervene as some sort of kind of alternative place in parts of iran. what they have influenced, you know, what do these protesters in iran critics reaches do we know what they want? do they want a region that is more democratic or a more democratic iran, or do they want to autonomy? well i mean the question of, you know, a national political. busy and cultural rights has have always been part of the protest movement in curtis on. but at the moment, actually the protest slogans in curtis on are no different from what you hear in the rest of iran. the key slogan has woman lot freedom, which has become kind of a battle cry for protest is across iran. and i think affections will be 5,

including the could identify with this particular slogan. because the, obviously the freedom part of slogan refers to both individual but also collective freedom of various cultural linguistic communities. and the woman obviously is referring to the gender kind of rights and the woman at the heart of this current protest. and that the life bit is obviously about socio economic kind of rights and also social justice. so this particular slogan, which has to be mentioned actually originated many years ago from kraidish movement in turkey. but travel to syria into war against ice is and now has kind of arrived in iran has united many sections of iranian society previously might have stage own separate protest, but now they have intersected, which is why this round of protest seems to be quite threatening for iranian state, and they try hard to suppress it or divert attention from it. and in that sense,

the focus on call this on can be kind of understood this 19 of course, we're on time, but we appreciate your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you very much. in champions league football to bonus like teams were in action in the group stage on tuesday. dorothy battled back with a one year old deficit to secure a draw with the bill. yeah. and our be like got a to know when against self watch dw needs coming up next his business news with been facility he'll be right back. god . so again, that's my work that's hard and in the endy to meet you. i'm not a lot of to you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this.
