ah ah ah ah, this is dw news lived from berlin, russia carries out more attacks on ukrainian cities. ah air raid sirens, sound and key as president zalinski says, drones strikes, hit critical infrastructure in the region. there are also reports of missile

strikes and the black sea port of mich alive, also coming up ukraine's nato led allies side. they'll supply more powerful ad defense systems. the keys, the commitment comes in germany, delivers the 1st to for long awaited anti missile systems and tears of relief as a us court tells conspiracy theorist alex jones to pay almost a $1000000000.00 to people who suffered from his false claims that the sandy hook school shooting never happened. plus the film world ads, it's voice and some graphic imagery to the protests in iran at the death of a young woman held by the iranian morality. police ah, i manuscripts, mccann, and thanks so much for being with us. russia has launched an air offensive on

ukraine for the 4th straight day. this time targeting the key region with iranian made kamikaze drones. people in the ukrainian capital woke to the sounds of air raid sirens early on thursday. the president's office said critical infrastructure was damaged in the attack. there has been no comment on potential casualties. now, the attack comes just hours after the united nations general assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn russia's attempts to illegally annex for regions of ukraine. the resolution was supported by $143.00 countries, while $35.00 states abstained, including china and india. draft resolution. i asked, he delivered that fanny fletcher, his and keith. if people there see these latest russian strikes as moscow's response to the you and vote was very difficult to look into the had of letting me

put in why he's doing watch when abs certainly per much every day. now actually by getting you cities, every dealership keeps cdn to new asterix in various parts of the country. but before i'm getting to the details of the fresh attacks in certain parts in ukraine, let me just look at that. you and general assembly vote and the meaning of it really because the fact the 3 fourths of the un general assembly voted to condemn the attempted annexation of full sylvan regions basically of ukraine. namely, a new hands scared don. yet scapel each and hudson region, which are only partially occupied by the way by russia forces. this of course, sends a very strong message to the rural, also in terms of trying to drama more support for ukraine. a message that was happening in and in ukraine is just simply not only illegal, but it's against what it, what it means to actually maintain the sovereignty of a country. but of course, we should not re, uh, forget all those of countries that abstained from the votes. you've already pointed

out china and india, but various african countries as well. also the i resolution which is non binding. so it's not going to, i mean, an end to this will unfortunately, shoes, how much russia is increasingly isolated. however, because aside from russia only less than a handful of friends actually for other countries voted against this resolution. not surprisingly, of course, one of the strongest allies here, a bell arose, but also syria, for example, and knows korea. so with regard to the resolution, yes, he sends a strong message to the world with regard to the war. it's not going to end it any time soon. funny. what else can you tell us about the latest asterix? once again, ukraine, i was hid this, done not, not, not by missile attacks, but various a drones drawn attacks. ukraine claims that these red is so called coming cost drones that are supplied by iran. russia never commented by the way whether it is

drones are coming from iran, regardless according to ukrainian officials. there was quite some damage, a close to key of city about 50 kilometers from here, and they're pointing at critical infrastructure. but i'm also hearing that emergency units are on the scene, which would actually indicate that residential buildings may have been here to read or not know yet. we also do not know about number of potentially i injure people or even casualties. so we are monitoring that development as well, but we certainly can a say, and that's also quite worries. some, it's not new because mickle life that, that town in the portal, a port in the southern portal part of ukraine has been here quite a few times. but again, a to night it's been hit oh, residential building was hit. and there also we didn't do not know yet the exact numbers, but this clearly in the case once again, regardless of resolutions, regardless of a different international meetings. the hor, or really especially for civilians here in ukraine, just goes on. funny,

thanks so much. that's funny for char reporting from keith l they russia claims to be talk is hang ukraine's energy infrastructure. the barrage of strikes that began on monday is also hissing residential areas. the latest escalation means people across the country are now living in a state of highlands. dozens of civilians have been killed and many men will have endured narrow escapes. batted bruised, unlucky to be alive. slowly a young girl emerges from what's left of a building destroyed in a russian missile attack. rescue as managing to make a hole just big enough for her to make an escape, followed by her mother and her father. they taken shelter in a cellar during another, as strike on the se city of supper. reacher. there is little light relief here in the face of russia's escalation in this war. silent prayers being said here by

candlelight at saint michael's golden domed monastery in the capital, keith but step outside. and you'll find a bleak reminder of the deadly cost of this conflict. a war memorial to ukraine's fallen soldiers and the constant reminders of the ongoing threat from the skies. i think they can be more dangerous using beer missiles like like the day before yesterday, the, the used to hear the critical infrastructure in ukraine that shut down the electricity to shut down the warming and everything on the front line. it's weapons, some ukraine's allies that are helping its force. is it vance? this u. s. made grenade launcher is being fired at russian positions in the eastern region of the next, one of 4, recently illegally annexed by moscow. but to win here,

these troops say they need more weapons and fast ukraine's president is cranking up the pressure on his european allies. you've probably seen unless kazora was still living in fear. or what will russia do? are still how will put in react off all are to do and what will happen if she is no longer in power of them? use them, would you thought july, and how quickly weapons and military support can be delivered to the front lines. strengthening ukraine's arm in this fight could now be vital as wind 2 approaches. meanwhile, some 50 countries allied with ukraine have announced deliveries of advanced ad offense weapons to keith. they were me saying in brussels, alongside a summit of nato defense ministers, his nato secretary general young john berg just a short time ago. it is a very important message for bern garza on quarters on the claim with future

deliveries yesterday that we will storm for your grade for us. wrong austin place rule slip of our supporter and in particular we will provide more air defenses has been suit you. great yen shelton berg speaking there. now nato defense ministers are now holding their 2nd day of talks with ukraine's anti missile defenses. the very top priority for days his country has been attacked from the ear. so it's clear what the ukranian defense minister once rest nichols appeal on his visit to brussels k miss germany delivered exactly that the 1st. so for air defense systems, cold air is t has arrived in ukraine. it can it incoming missiles within a radius of 40 kilometers, at a height of up to 20 kilometers isde and so our support of ukraine remains unchanged. and all sham deference or decisions made by the kremlin won't stop us up more help for ukraine as fast as possible. the u. s. is heading up discussions on

how to get this done with around 50 countries, alongside nato nations are also states like japan, australia, tunisia, and kenya as well as anti aircraft missiles. they want to provide artillery ammunition, and even military clothing for the upcoming winter. several countries of are working together to expand capacity and a mirror industrial bridge. ukraine is not asking for soldiers from any other country. the ukrainians are willing to fight to themselves. all they ask for is the means to do it. on thursday night a wants to discuss among its members how it can restock its arms, due to extensive a to ukraine, the alliance, his own weapon stores are running low and from all we can speak to raphael last sees a research fellow at the european council on foreign relations and an expert on nato defense and nuclear weapons. welcome to d, w and ukraine has been asking allies to supply it with our defense system. since

russia 1st invaded, explain to us what pushed nato to react now. well, if you just look at the system that germany did my best day to you, the iris p system, then that was announced by chance i would have shows already in june. there's a long lead time with industry production systems that were delivered from germany, where originally ordered by egypt. and there was some background of diplomacy to make it available to ukraine now. but there is a long time to to get equipment to ukraine. be what an offensive or, or other artillery systems that we've been discussing for the past months already. so it has been taken at the decision quite a while back. and now the systems arriving to create and have an effect and protect in civilian areas and military targets that russia seeks to disrupt and destroy switched missile campaign. the last couple of weeks now to members have been mindful about helping, without triggering a wider war in europe, given russia's warnings against supplying advanced weaponry to keep. how is russia

likely to react to this latest booster ukraine's missile defense? i think don't step up step on me on their escalation that are we've seen various efforts to, to metal with infrastructure in europe. non pipeline comes to mind and we've seen middle garages in that civilian targets in ukraine. what i think all of this indicates is that russia is recognizing that they have little means to affect the balance of forces on the battlefield. and that they now seek to leverage other means to undermine western support for ukraine. and this is certainly going to continue. it's going to escalate further, but not with us as mate will either have set yesterday and they will repeat this to day. and that comes in the escalation risks and are carefully to provide ukraine with the equipment that it needs to defend itself. and, but certainly strings are still attached to the 8th that the west is giving. it's

just now being confirm that germany and 13 other countries will procure their own new air defense systems to protect themselves. can you tell us any more about that integrated air missile defense for a long time was not a priority in the west when you think of the last 20 years and then usually the foreign deployments and have gone on. molly and other places come to mind where western soldiers didn't face any threat from above the really and so missile defense walking the priority in terms of capabilities and in terms of procurement. and that is only slowly changing since 2014 since rush of course attacked ukraine. and certainly those discussions are picking up since february of this year. now the announcement by germany and 13 other countries, i think it's a welcome step to boast, a european missile defense capabilities. we'll have to see how this plays out in practice over the next couple of months and years. now nato is meeting for a 2nd day on thursday is going to be discussing it 3 amunition,

so restocking its own arms. how vulnerable has the war in ukraine actually made nato? i think that has been neglected by nato countries. for the longest time, i think that resulted initially from a certain expectations the war would soon be over. and it turns out that this is a long war and that it will take a while. and now industry production for ammunition, but also for spare parts of the systems that have been provided to ukraine already are a higher priority than they were a couple of weeks ago where to slow when it comes to adopting to the new challenge . but i think may to lead us at their july summit and madrid had already indicated that they were discussing an industrial response to, to russia aggression against ukraine. and certainly restocking ammunition stockpiles, but also hosting the readiness of their own armed forces is our highest priority to the lines. no profit loss from the european council on foreign relations. it's been

a pleasure having you and the w. thank you. thank you. now since the war began, hundreds of thousands of russians have fled the country. when president putin ordered a partial mobilize ation in september, that number searched many have made their way to israel. one of the few places still open to russians and running direct flights. the government is preparing for thousands more to arrive in the coming months. the w rebecca riches met with one young man in haifa, a taste of home in a foreign land. ivan, who doesn't want us to use his last name for security raisins is one of thousands of russians of jewish descent have arrived in israel since the kremlin called for a partial mobilization valerio data. and israel's law of return. any jew around the world has an automatic right to citizenship. ivan, whose grandfather is jewish,

started making inquiries in february, shortly after russia invaded ukraine, venezuela. festus had been it's when the war began the special military operation. i started looking at the programs israel offered to symbol on which i had thought that until the new year i would earn money is i bought with plans to come later as blemish the bottom, the other. but on the 21st of september, in fearing conscription, things became urgent. so i yob nippy south browser. i shall i via course. but um, yeah, i wrote the program coordinator in israel. straits away fell thought he said, don't worry. just to get out of russia, if it is right sir. glove on his chest, maybe even then i left the cast stone more than 6000 people like yvonne have fled from russia to israel. since vladimir putin gave his mobilization order that many of them have been too scared to share this story with us for fear of retribution from the kremlin. israel says it's preparing for tens of thousands more

in the coming month. welcoming jews fling persecution is hardly something new for the jury site. the biggest migration was throughout the 90s, where israel and welcomed over 1000000 immigrants from former soviet union countries. what we've seen this year is a 20 year record. it does come naturally for us to open the door to any one ah, of jewish descent, according to the law return. this is our vocation. vacation. ivan was happy to benefit from it, though he has a military exemption. he says he knows of other men who've been called up despite having the same status. sure i to me of it. here. i go by train in ukraine. it's a fate. hundreds of thousands of young men, a desperate to avoid, even if it's hard to leave your homeland or to see what i see. of course, i love russia very much. i was born and raised their like probably 95 percent of

those you left russia and i hope to return when dots, which the whole world is dreaming of door will happen. which they at vis me at home sick as he is, ivan says he's happy he's now living in a free country as he considers his future. he hopes one day to return to a russia that is free as well. let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. pyongyang has launched 2 long range strategic cruise missiles and that's according to state run media photos, sho, north korean leader kim jong on overseeing the operation that he says was a test to confirm the nuclear capabilities of weapons deployed to military units. taiwan has fully reopened to international tourists after ending mandatory quarantine rules imposed to control the pandemic. visitors arriving from thailand

were among the 1st to be welcomed. the travellers are still required to monitor their health the 7 days and take rapid cove at 19 tests. now a jury in the us state of connecticut has ordered conspiracy theorist alex jones to pay $965000000.00 us dollars for his false claims. that the sandy hook, school shooting was a hoax. 20 young children and 6 adults were killed in that shooting. the suit was brought by families of 8 of the victims whose lives were further turned upside down by jones and the actions of his followers. after giving weeks of testimony and years of battling lies about their family members last to gun violence, a resolution in the fight for justice ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you all yes. repeatedly right wing conspiracy theorist and host

alex jones has called the 2012 sandy hook elementary school mass shooting over public. oh, he said the victims weren't really victims at all, but paid actors being used by democrats to a road gun ownership rights. in the time that followed jones listeners repeatedly harassed and threatened sandy hook survivors. and through it all victims families leaned on each other. this is not a trial. i let my voice be taken away from me in my power be taken away from me at the expense of my daughter in the expense of my family. so i have to thank them for helping me to strengthen the truth matters. in those who profit off of other people's pain and trauma will pay for what they have done. consequences for his decades old lies will cost jones nearly $1000000000.00.

an emotional pain and suffering. jones says he now believes the mash shooting was real and that he was merely questioning what happened. his lawyer says the verdict threatens constitutional rights, wages, lawyers, my heart goes out to the families. we live in divided times or they've been weaponized and used for political purposes. i'm in this country in my view, and today is a very, very, very dark gave a speech, the other family, but their flight might not be over. jones. his vow to appeal the judgment anisette his company's bankruptcy status will protect us and for wars show for now and staying in the us in washington dc, the committee investigating the january. the 6th attack on the u. s. capital is promising. surprising details and a public hearing later on thursday, and this is likely to be the last such hearing before november's critical mid term

elections. the committee says view as can expect evidence from donald trump secret service as the panel seats to place blame for the deadly riot squarely on the former president and his inner circle. ah, the swarming of the u. s. capital on january 6th, 2021. an unprecedented attempt to stop the peaceful transfer a power from donald trump to joe biden. these images shocked the nation view and the world girl. we initially, republicans condemned the writers, but most have reversed course and thrown their support behind former president, trump again, only a small minority continue to demand the trump and the riders be held to account, including liz cheney and adam kensington. the only 2 republicans on the january 6th committee to investigate what role trump played in the riot room and efforts to overturn the election. shuttling so far, the committee has held a public hearing,

featuring previously unseen footage and compelling witness testimony. pointing directly to donald trump and his inner circle to say the elections. i just want to say congress has certified the results without saying the elections over. okay. the committee accuses the former president of trying to overturn the 2020 election result of riling up the crowd. of writers on january 6th, and egging on the attackers as it happened when the committee finishes its work. it will submit a final report with its findings and recommendations, including one t recommendation, whether donald trump and his allies should face criminal charges. but in the end, it will be up to the justice department to decide what to do, and that will be a tough decision. does the justice department take an unprecedented leap and press

criminal charges against a former president, or will it use its resources to go after other members of trump's inner circle? most republicans have rejected these hearings as political theater. but with a report hanging over donald trump head, along with many other investigations, it is possible that the former president's popularity will take a hit, and that florida governor run de santis. the rising star of the republican party could become the next republican presidential candidate in 2024. now since the death of a young woman in the custody of iran, so called morality police last month, people around the world have been demonstrating for the rights of women in iran. in recent weeks, the protest there have widened, taking aim at the leadership of the islamic republic and its repressive policies and support for those protests has also come from the film industry. 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 streets. ah, then although i

think it made a movie inspired by true story which happened 20 years ago. and unfortunately it's happening right now in your own. and i thing when my hector are present in this movie is exactly what ever, you know, what women are just doing right now. you know, they come to the street and they reach their own life for himself and for the others. iranian bone, lord of the rings, stand as an inborn yardi using her platform to lead a protest in la san lease 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'll seeing people fight back against the security forces, with head coverings mandatory for women across iran. the image of someone cutting

her hair is a symbol of defiance. a group of high profile french actors, musicians have joined campaigners by posting a video themselves, cutting their hair, a symbolic sacrifice in support of iranian women. and with that you up to date coming up next focus on europe, off of georgia maloney's electron initially will make it hard of the gay couples to have children. i'm and you can mckinnon. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more international headlines. thanks a lot. ah ah ah ah ah

war and new crime has raised political turn troops throughout europe, but notably between kosovo and serbia in brussels. officials have told both sides to cool rhetoric on one call to vote without an agreement to normalize relations with belgrade. the time for joining the e. u is running out my guess this week from christina, does album quoted to prime minister a conflict zone in 60 minutes on d. w. o, you become a criminal pre colonial already know with hackers, paralyzing your societies. computers that out what you and
