ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live at from berlin tonight, nato stepping up, its military backing for you crave the western alliance. it says strengthening keeps air defense is, is a top priority in the united states, also valley that it support will not falter. also coming up tonight. a fresh wave

of attacks on civilian targets in ukraine, missiles, reigning del, on towns and cities across the country. now for a 3rd day in a row, was the film world, adding its voice and some graphic image to the protests over the death of a young woman held by iran to so called morality. police. ah, i bring gov is good to have you a with this on this wednesday, we're beginning in brussels, where boosting ukraine's anti missile defense is, is the top priority for native leaders. the western alliance is meeting for the 1st time since russia illegally annexed several ukrainian territories. in the east of the country last month, secretary general un stoughton berg says that a wave of russian attacks on civilians in recent days is a sign of moscow's weakness. 50 countries have taken part in

a form that was said by the united states to coordinate military aid for ukraine. the u. s. defense secretary saying neither remains committed to supporting ukraine . or certainly not a question of lack of a will. and the commitment the resolved that the chairman and i witnessed her in those contact group meeting the day was as far as what i told the members of the group they, they remain committed to doing everything they can to, to generate additional capabilities. either get other or corresponded bent reagan. he is following those meetings, forrest, he joins me now from brussels. ben, it's good to see you. and what is your take did? do you see a heightened resolve among ukraine's allies in response to this latest escalation of the war? by russia, at least you could sense some severe anger and dismay about the recent russian

attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilian targets. there was even an was said to lloyd austin, the u. s. defense secretary and, and he made clear that the nato, his now that to supply ukraine with weapon and whatever it needs, not only for weeks or months but years. so a sustainable supply of weapons and ammunition, that's the goal of nato. and to native defense miss has also made clear that the concept so far seems to work because the rocket launches, for example, with high mas herb ukraine to turn around the table in, on the better feet actually, and to gain ground on the better feared. so of native wants to follow that pass. ukraine obviously needs weapons yesterday, rather than to day. we've heard that many times, but now we're hearing promises of support for the long term. do we know exactly what that means though,

for the long term and that is promising to supply ukraine with missile defense systems for the 4 long range and medium range purposes. but that also means this bill not help in the current attacks actually because it takes weeks, months, even years to, to supply these weapons. for example, the germany promised for iris t a in the rocket defense systems, but only one of them is ready. the 3, the, the next 3 will only be supplied in the next year. and then the united states promised 8 missile defense systems. but 6 of them have to be produced. they're not there, they're just theory. so that shows that everything is very slow, and the demand of course is high and it's, it's clear that ukraine is impatient and asking for more. but what is clear is that nato will supply ammunition faster than a scheduled oil ministers committed to,

to look deeper into their stock price to see what they can do. and they also urge industry to produce faster and they will now give out long term contracts to boost the production of munition and also munition. he's been reinforced, united brussels barrett as always, thank you or more civilian targets have been destroyed in a 3rd day of russian drone and missile attacks against you create a strike on a crowded market. killed at least 7 people in the town of a deep cut in the eastern doughnuts region. the governor, they're saying that the areas that were hit had no military purpose. i joining us now from keep is our correspondent. he is bellinger mathias. what more can you tell us about that air strike that has been reported in the don't ask region of the cause. one of the places that remained very

close or whether, whether frontline, actually the line of contact stopped in 2014, 2015, where it stabilized so is very much, a frontline town has been since 8 years. and of course, since it was kate invasion in february, this year, fighting has increased dramatically along this line. meant much of this line has remained in place, especially in the don't in region. but shelling has increased and as we know, russian shelling is often very indiscriminate of not very precise. and it's civilian targets pretty often all this was a market today. we've seen pictures on social media, horrible pictures of bodies lying next to market stands. one must say that this kind of attacks in this, in these places is pretty common. they just shoot shells for over the over the line

and they hit wherever they hit. yeah. and these attacks are pretty companies. you say it's a how are people, how are they coping with this? well, in the don bus, many people have left, but we have also seen a lot of shelling now in other parts of the country. and her here in kia, one might say it's that a life is or already returning pretty much to normal. people have developed quite some resilience he had and, and also institutions and services. roads have been patched quickly and the metro is running again. and lots of things are back to normal, and that's probably the mode of that, that people have gotten used to into different degrees in those places that are permanently embattled as of nika. where we've talked, talked about, i've just mentioned that many people had left. but those who remained there,

they tried to carry on with their life. and with those places being hit, rarely or more rarely, people are quick to try to get rid of the of the traces and, and the consequences and get back to life. i want to ask you about these every 2 nuclear power plant. we understand that its power supply has been interrupted again . do we know is the situation they are stable or under control? it seems that the power has been restored. the power outage was caused. it seems by a shell that hit the on the ukrainian side power station on the ukrainian side, again, russia targeting power infrastructure. now these power lines are very important because although the plant has been shut down, it's not producing electricity at the moment. the fuel,

the nuclear needs needs cooling, constant cooling, and this cooling is provided is run of course, by electricity that is supplied now from outside of the plant. by at these lines, when the cooling, cooling is cut off, a generated can replace the power for some time, but of course, generators need diesel. we don't know how many diesels stocks there, so this is always a dangerous situation. however, it seems that they were able to fix it quite quickly. but the situation there remains very volatile with fighting going on around the plant either because, but he is fairly good place to night from keep mathias as always. thank you for the small balkan republic of kosovo is among those countries most concerned about the war in ukraine this week on the w's conflict zone. because of those prime minister alban corte tells tim sebastian his country feels threatened by its larger neighbor survey,

an ally of russia. peace and stability and security are jeopardized by the legal structures of serbia full with people who are also blacklisted by us treasury. in addition to having arrests warrens by our lease, so these people are arresting, peace and stability and co, so i'm way more democratic than serbia. and i must say also way more independent conscious than sort of yeah. because sort of yeah, is a client who gene will come in. we need natal precisely because of serbia and precisely because it's. 1 such close and wide range of links with that option for the nation. and you can see the entire conflict zone interview with album chords coming up right after this show. or you can watch it online, and d, w dot com slash conflicts. so let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . the european commission has recommended granting bosnia and herzegovina candidate

status to join the european union. but officials are saying that bosnia should bolster democracy and the rule of law in the country and tackle corruption and organized crime. it can take many years. for bosnia is allowed to join the czech republic plans to ban russian tourists, artists, and athletes who hold visas issued by countries in europe, travel or free travel area. the foreign minister of the country saying that his government will join finland, poland, and the baltic countries which already have a similar measure. russian president vladimir putin says it. moscow is ready to resume gas deliveries to the european union via the nord stream to pipeline. but the german government has rejected that offer, saying that russia is no longer a reliable energy supplier of the sweetest climate activist gretta tune. bear has weighed in on a debate about germany's energy crisis. russia has cut gifts deliveries in response

to western sanctions over the war in ukraine. germany's governing coalition parties are considering keeping open nuclear power plants here that were scheduled to be shut down this year. the country's economy minister, robert hobby seemed by there and his environmentalist greens party, they opposed that idea. in an interview with the german broadcaster a r d tune bag was asked if nuclear power is a reasonable option in this case. and she replied, if we have them already running, i feel that it's a mistake to close them down in order to focus on coal. that is generating a lot of controversy here in germany. the talk about that i'm joined now by yon nicholas gazing. who is he is a member of the german von this talk for the greens is which of course part of the governing coalition in this country. it's good to have you on the program. what do

you say when you've got a climate activists like grid, a tune, baird, telling your party basically that you're wrong in your solution to this energy crisis? thank you for having me and to answer to your question. i do not agree with this to partition nuclear power plants are unreliable, they are expensive and it's a myth that they are a collect ecologically friendly um, regarding the fuel that is needed. and regarding all the garbage that is produced by nuclear power plants, it is the myth that they are climate friendly. and therefore, we should in the name of security and in the name of renewable energy future. stop producing power by power. but if you're saying nuclear power is not good for the

environment, which everyone will agree with. what about coal burning power plants, they're even worse aren't thing. i wouldn't enter in a comparison between 2 ecologically extremely dangerous technologies. nuclear power plan psychologically extremely dangerous as well. and of course, using coal to produce power is not climate friendly. we just agreed in our coalition agreement on exiting coal in 2013, which is very important. and unfortunately, due to the russian at tech, on crane, we are now to, we're now forced to use more coal in the short term to secure our power supply. yes . what is very odd is what is very sure is that may not neglect our mid term climate goals. and if we can small coal,

now that means that we definitely have to achieve our climate goals, which means using less cold in the mid term, mr. given as an end to get there and i might just end this to get there. what is required now is a much faster a success and much faster progress in renewable energy. and i hear you saying that i'm looking also at what your government is doing right now. you. germany and other donors have committed to a $1000000000.00 package to support a coal phase out in south africa. and at the same time because of this energy crisis. now you are having to buy coal from south africa. that seems rather hypocritical, doesn't the coal phase out is not in discussion in germany. that is what i just said. if we have to use more coal in the. busy short term because of the war and

the consequences of the war that makes it even more necessary for the close future to accept coal and to continue with the coal faced out. it is not what we were planning to get into this situation. what the big problem was is that the former government produced an enormous dependency on foster imports to germany. and since we reduced these fossil imports extremely, we're now forced to use all the possibilities which we have including coal, but also using more efficiency and using less power in general. this is what we are working on now and to diversify the power supply. building l n. g terminals for the transition phase, but the main goal is to be much faster on building wind energy and solar energy. so we can face out call as soon as possible and just re agreed

on ending coal in 2030 in germany. yeah. nicholas gazing who's unfortunately, we're out of time, but we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. thank you very much for the death of a young woman in cost in the custody of iran, so called morality police last month has been fueling nationwide unrest as well as a wave of protests around the world. support has also come from the film industry. this protest is across iran, continue to defy crackdowns that human rights groups say, have left dozens of people dead. the demonstrations were ignited by the death of 22 year old mazda armine, following her rest for unsuitable attire, by the country's notorious morality police. some support for the women of iran from the world of cinema, the cast of holy spider at its london premier. oh,

rainy and film director only a bossy on the red carpet were in clerks robes and bloodied vampire teeth. his film is inspired by true events and tells the story of a journalist played by czar amir abraham, me on the trail of a serial killer. the movie also acts as a critique of iranian society, with the killer who murdered 16 sex workers, celebrated by some for cleaning up the straits ah. in ohio i think we made a movie inspired by true story which happened 20 years ago. but unfortunately it's happening right now in your own. and i thing what mike hag, there are a prison in this move is exactly what you know, what women in you are just doing right now. you know, they come to the freight and they reach their own life for himself and for the

others. iranian born lord of the rings star, neza named bon yadi, using her platform to lead a protest in los angeles against the iranian regime. i think the worry is that we've had uprisings in iran once a decade since 1999 in the student uprising and around the security forces have one . and this time, the thing that's unprecedented is that you're seeing people fight back against the security forces, with head coverings mandatory for women across run. the image of someone cutting her hair is a symbol of defiance. a group of high profile french act as the musicians have joined campaigners by posting a video of themselves, cutting their hair, a symbolic sacrifice in support of iranian women. indonesia is marking the 20th anniversary of the bombing attack in bali,

explosions ripped through crowded bars in the tourist hotspot 20 years ago, killing more than 200 people. it was the worst atrocity in the country. one clay by terror attacks. ah, it has been 20 years since the twin bumping shook bali to its core to day the physical scars might have healed, but the emotional trauma haunts the survivors in their daily life. many a still suffering, like theo lena mar bone. she was sitting in a car just mean as away from the side of the blasts. today, she is sometimes triggered by smoke decala, but i thought bill me after 20 years, i haven't fully recovered from the drama collette. after the incident happened, i got traumatized by a lot of things. if the at that if i for example, in the morning when i smelled smoke on it, i immediately rental crazy. then i had to look for the smoke because i pod bomb bomb. and if i hadn't been found out, it was burnt garbage, but i felt

a little better by handy because multiple services were held throughout indonesia to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks indonesian as well as his trailing officials, honored victims and survivors. and in the 20 years since that terrible event, stria and indonesia become lisa than ever, down by tragedy and united friendship over but more than just an official gathering events also brought together people who have lost loved ones . they've been absolutely uplifted you. i'm you. it makes you realize you're, you're not the, aren't you, i'm that until you get. and i think it was a very, very beautiful and very moving experience for all of us. and especially for those who lost somebody. and this tragic accident is something we have to live with. it can happen and it's on, you know, this is just an incident, a bombing, but no laws can change through any event. 20 years on indonesia

continues to prove that it remains defiant in the face of terra you, a general assembly is debating this our whether to condemn russia's annexations of 4 regions in you crate. the full $193.00 member assembly is expected to vote in the coming hours last month. moscow said that it annexed for partially occupied regions of ukraine. who hans, don't ask, separates yet? and yes, on the assembly has already rejected an attempt by russia to have today's vote secret ballot with right, so the discussions are still going on, but before we get to the boat, we want to talk with our chief international richard walker. so richard, i've been hearing from commentators all week, they're expecting there to be a overwhelming condemnation of what they're calling the sham referenda and this

annexation is that right? yeah. so what the question is going to be? how overwhelming, it's absolutely very likely that there's going to be a significant majority in favor of this resolution, but it will inevitably get compared to the 1st time that the un general assembly voted on this war, which was in the very early days of the war back in the beginning of march, and that was a resolution which was condemning the invasion by the russians and a 141. as of the 193 members of the u. n. the member states voting for that resolutions condemning russia. russia could only master 5 votes against, including his own button, so he can persuade 4 countries to vote with it. and then there were $35.00 abstention, so today's results going to be get measured against that. inevitably, some people are saying, well, you know, i simply need like a 2 thirds majority. that would be $130.00 out of $193.00. but under the 141 from

last time will inevitably get spun by russia as a kind of a sign of slipping coalition against it. we would those countries come from if we were seeing this slipping, coalition africa and asia? well, i mean, there's been a lot of discussion of a kind of an idea of ukraine fatigue that the western world particularly focused. fixated even on the war that is going on in ukraine. very good and understandable reasons, but the global south, collectively thinking guys we have problems to a lot of these problems and knock on effects of the war. and this contributing to a sense of kind of frustration with this, this on ukraine. and what you see, and the resolution has been drafted for tonight is i think an attempt by the west and the support you trying to sort of acknowledge that in a couple of ways. one in which it's been very kind of focused on, on condemning the annexation isn't go much beyond that in terms of condemning the

war in itself and so on. and secondly, some and annexation and breach of the territorial integrity is something that is so intrinsic, united nations that makes it hard to oppose. and then secondly, there's also a section in there to calling for dialogue to, to resolve the conflict. and this is something that you hear from a lot of the kind of fence is countries like india always saying that, you know, we just want dialogue. we want diplomacy to, to end this. so, so there's a passage in the resolution that's kind of aimed at those. so that will be the question in those kind of points within the resolution. do they help kind of get some more people on site or prevent some people from kind of going on to, to sitting on the fence? i know that russia wanted this book to be secret ballot. why? well, from the russian point of view is they want to give as many countries as possible kind of cover for supporting them as they can possibly get. having the sense that,

you know, countries you know, would be a shame to support a local view of your allies. and then you could say, then, you know, from the russian view, they are saying that, you know, countries in the global south, under so much western pressure that they're having to vote against russia or abstain at the very least. otherwise they'll face consequences from the west. so, you know, the argument can potentially cut both ways, but it was really rejected this attempt. and i think this is a very important part of the vote is going on here. is people are having to stand up and be counted because this isn't about just like what happens now. this is part of the historical record. when people look back on face, where did which countries that are cheap international is richard walker richards. always thank you. are just a reminder now of the top story that we're following for you. this. our native leaders be the brussels so they are boosting ukraine's air defenses. and that that is their top priority. a wave of russian air strikes is targeted civilians in

recent days. the us defense secretary today vowing that western military support for key will not fault. and the russians drive on a crowded market is killed. at least 7 people in ukraine's eastern. don't ask region. the governor there says that there was no military target that was hit. you watch the w news of next conflict zone. i will be back at the top of the hour with mobile news, followed by the day hope to see you then. mm hm. ah, with
