2:05 pm
leaving many ukrainians wondering where they can turn to find safety. more destruction, more desperation, separate asia faces another round of shelling. after days of continued attacks, the cleanup will be massive. led just to let you know what i can tell you previously, we got used to the missile strikes 1st to the only thing she said we are told to hide hide with. we don't have any place to hide nearby. but while he can't hide in the cellar regarded because you be trapped by debris and no one will find you to regard for. so we go outside and we wait until the saga. this fresh missile strike and support easy as part of a continued barraged. but russian president vladimir putin says the high intensity attacks in ukrainian cities will not continue in my seat and there is no need for massive strikes, at least for now he just will see from there. no awesome,
2:06 pm
good number to put in also declared, his massive mobilization of russian troops is almost complete. moved away without able to this work or go mobilization is coming to an end already. no risk, as of now 222000 of the mobilized already joining the armed forces of the 300000. i believe that within 2 weeks, about 2 weeks in all mobilization activities in will be completed. the mission. in recent days, ukraine has free taken much of the russian occupied have san britain falling, those land gains. russia is now arching civilians to leif have son, who, for the presence of a large number of civilians makes it difficult for the military to maneuver. and most likely, shall we say it's dangerous for life. living key affairs they call for the civilian avocation in the region, could precede an escalation in russian attacks. for the latest, i'm joined now by dw corresponded funding for shar, in keep
2:07 pm
a funny up. putin says there will be no more missile strikes. his word good enough for ukrainians? certainly not. there will ask you the question, why would you trust the person that's been waging war in this country? as a result, millions have been displaced. thousands have been killed or injured since february 24th. so certainly not people are angry actually when they hear the statements because they come across is rather arrogance and cynical to them in the light of the fact. what happened here on monday here are i am and he of city been not only just today, and we have been pointing out that also that report as russia conducted several missile airstrikes in various regions in separate region. for example, in don boss. and also in the hockey region, so people are injured and are deep dying pretty much every day. he and ukraine as a result of this war, it is something like us. yeah. a little bit of a hope. a pinch of hope that people can take away from the statement is the fact that if flooding or put in is seeing that for now, at least he doesn't intend to
2:08 pm
a plan, a bigger a strike or even destroy this country. this may actually indicate that he's running out of weapons, abbey, conventional weapons or different kind of drones, et cetera. but as i say, i bottom line people here. no, they do not trust flooding or putting on the statements that he was delivering there. as you well know, there was a sprit of deadly missile strikes on civilian targets across ukraine, this week western allies, promising to deliver more anti missile systems. how confident or people there that those weapons will in fact prevent civilian deaths. certainly, they're very important if you are think about what just presidency. lensky pointed out that apparently ukraine only has about 10 percent of what it needs to defend the air from incoming strikes and looking at the s trucks just the monday about hundreds and cruise missiles were literally raining down and ukraine, and about half of them only could be intercepted at by ukraine because they do have
2:09 pm
air defense systems, but very old from the soviet union times. and it's not just by the way, the fact that this countries air defense systems to make sure that infrastructure are data, playground, schools, hospitals, and so many other things are being hit. so you are directly killed as a result unfortunately. but also when it comes to the energy infrastructure in this country and 30 percent according to officially information has been hit this week as a result, if it wasn't, is a sunny as it is right now in october. you can simply die by freezing to death. if you do not have alternative means to heat and power your home. so obviously it's very, very important right now. there's a much increasing sense of urgency, also internationally. at this, it seems to be to deliver those air defense systems before winter arrives. so ukraine, ukraine and ukrainians actually stand a chance of surviving if for example, they do not live in a city where there is
2:10 pm
a better network altogether. but in a village where really they do not have alternative means to heat their homes. that so dw south, any fish are in keep many things funny. tom now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world at this hour . iranian activists have launched an online appeal, calling for fresh nationwide protests against the clerical leadership. the death of a young woman rescued by the so called morality police as set off the biggest protest in years. a rights group based in oslo says more than a 100 people have been killed in the demonstrations of the u. k.

2:12 pm
a demand for additional reactors to also continue operating beyond that day. the greens led the push to phase out nuclear energy. germany's last remaining plants were due to close later this year. but the energy crisis is prompting a delay on the national phaser. despite their concessions economy minister and former green party leader. whoa, both hava said the greens have stayed true to their principles. dear miss miss, we'll have to think about why that party was found it and why we are in government or miss miss. we do have to set ourselves apart via we don't have to question what a position though is involved with a party member for 20 years. and i've had various roles. sometimes argued as it should be a 100 percent honest with you, but i never felt so much as home as i have recently. never have i've been so proud of this party on me. i saw steroids of tv, part time, counting minister, well,
2:13 pm
but hobbit, and our political corresponded, julius shall deli, is following the party congress for us, julia, germany's economy minister, they're trying to demonstrate unity just how unified is his party behind a policy shift. it's clearly a fundamental contradiction of their ideals as it is a very big shift compared to the beginning of the greens, the entire party was basically founded on the anti nuclear movement here in germany, in the 19 eighties and to see now the majority of the party at the congress standing behind, well, but how big and his decision to go ahead with keeping these 2 nuclear power plants in operation indicates this big shift. now there were debates, there were members of the party who have criticized this decision. but all in all the majority stands behind him, even though there is a clear red line for the party. and that is that this, maintaining an operation of these power plants only has to be temporary. there
2:14 pm
isn't got not going to be any purchase of new nuclear fuel rods. now this clearly signifies that the party has moved away from its origins. it's moved away from being more of an idealistic party. and it is now clear to party members that they are anchored in reality, and they have to deal now with the difficult reality that is presented by the energy crisis in europe and germany right now. yearly a lesson a minute. but i want to ask you this also on the congress agenda is weapons deliveries as saudi arabia. how is that being received in a party which has been, of course, traditionally pacifists. there is a motion plans in the party congress today. that is meant to criticize the government's decision to deliver the what these weapons to ukraine. but we've heard foreign minister annalynn burbock, defend that decision here on the stage behind me. she said, this is an exception that these weapons are being delivered because they are part of a cooperation with other european countries. and that they are not going to be delivered
2:15 pm
directly from germany to saudi arabia. but the issue is definitely going to call for some dissatisfaction within the party. juliet south deli, many, many thanks. and we'll have to say our goodbyes. they're coming up. next. is our documentary about the return of the jaguars in argentina? a michael. okay. thanks for watching from me in the rest of the berlin news team. we'll see you soon. i interest the global economy our portfolio d w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project.
