a targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d, w. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. a huge blaze breaks out and gunshots are heard at a t rom prison where anti government protesters and political prisoners are held. the fire combs and made the most intense protests across iran in years. also coming up fellow roofs welcomed the 1st russian soldiers taking part in a new,

joined force with better routine troops raising fears they could join the russian offensive in ukraine. ah, on pablo foliage, welcome to the program. we start with breaking news tonight. iranian state media say at least 8 people have been injured in a fire at the notorious evan prison in tehran, images posted on line show flames and smoke rising above the facility in the capitol. there were also reports of gunfire, authority, se clashes erupted between prisoners and guards, but the situation is now under control. have imprison is home to numerous political prisoners activists. i've long criticized the facility for alleged human rights abuses, including torture and denial of medic care. all right,

well for more or less cross over to morale carry me. she is a ph. d candidate in social justice education at the university of toronto in canada, and author of the book at the iranian green movement of 2009 reverberating echoes of resistance are welcome to d w. what makes this prison so notorious? well, and then as you mentioned in your promo, it's historically, historically been a fortress for successive regimes in iran, to house iran, political prisoners, activists. and even to a national currently not to be who is it will german, iranian national is been kept there as being kept there since 2020, for example. so many have lost their lives. they are due to torture,

lack of care and rapes, and even murder, and many of the prisoners currently in evan, are the ones that the government has abreast, in the recent protests, in the capital, and even across the nation and has helped them in prison. so what was, what was your 1st reaction when you heard what was happening out the prison? while my mind immediately and many other people, i think went to 2 different 2 separate occasions that 2 tragedies inflicted upon the wrong prisoners of cautious and political prisoners. why did we stablish this one is the, the fire in cinema in the south eastern city on, on a for a couple months prior to the 79 revolution, where islam is charred. everyone,

almost everyone in cinema to death by closing the door and setting it on fire and blamed it on the previous shots regime in order to get a fast track. the process that the revolution that was happening at that point. and it only came to light that it was them years later. and also the mass murders of the eighty's throughout the eighty's, particularly in the $88.00 after that iran iraq war of thousands of iranian political prisoners where killed and mass. and it's quite worth some specifically because the supreme leader, a few weeks ago, after a long hated from public, came out and said, we're still ruled by and watched upon and cared for by the same god of the $980.00 essentially pointing to to the

repression and the crushing of political prisoners are all, tell us this, after all, the weeks of anti government protest that we have, and these images that we're seeing, what effect do you think that could actually have on, at the situation in the country at the moment? i mean it's, it's difficult to predict, but so far, masses are, are walking towards depression have leave. the lyrical prisoners are quite worried and some are walking. some are taking cars there so many people are honking. their cars like is closing down the street, highways that end up in prison, or leave their and their credit preventing to crowd together by bullets lifeless and tear. yeah. so wherever we go from here, it's going to be yet another tragedy,

whether it's intentional morale carini, thank you for joining us on d. w. thanks for having me. the 1st russian troops have been arriving in batteries as part of what being described as a regional military group. but there are fears that, that you joined force could be deployed across the border in ukraine. ah, the defense ministry has released these images of russian soldiers being greeted with music and food that a receipt leader, alexander lucas shanker, has insisted that the reinforcements are needed to respond to what he's described as a heightened terror threat along the countries borders. right. well earlier dw correspondence mathias pulling out in keith told us what this move would mean for the ongoing war . there has been some speculation that russia and then incorporation with billers

would try attempt at another march on kia. and that would be most likely starting from bella roost from where we understand this. so these troops are deployed. however, there are lots of doubts about that. look to considering the situation of the russian army right now. and the defensive position that they are in, along the front line. it's hardly imaginable that they have resources for a big scale operation like this one. remember the last one failed. so something wouldn't need to be done differently if they wanted to succeed. and it's highly unlikely that they might succeed. however, of course, this is a worrying development, bella ros itself. would then in that scenario, contribute their own troops. they have about 60000 troops. that's not a lot, and they're not combat. they have no comeback experience. so it's, it's not very likely, but it might be some kind of a intimidation strategy. tito,

you corresponded that he is pulling our reporting there will despite the ongoing war some ukrainians are returning to their homes in the east of the country as ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield. we just heard there from mathias bellinger and he was actually on the 1st train in 6 months to the city of premier taurus, which is located in the don bass region. the train is on schedule. it's the passenger train into a war zone. the 1st train from 2 from a to main city of the cranial controlled part of the dunbar. from a top 30 kilometers from the front line, the city shout frequently. but only enough fuel has decided to return with her children. we thought about going by boston,

but no transport goes. when we found the train yesterday, i was close tearing up. we've spent half a year in poland and i want to go home. the train stopped running there in april when the station came under fire. and at least 50 people were waiting. ordinary creation train were killed by a rocket. it was one of the most deadly attacks on civilians in this war. since the beginning of the war, the railway system has become vital to the country. logistics rely on it. millions have taken evacuation trains from the war zone to alexander, to new york. the trained driver. this connection is more than a transport link just

we do our little part to at least morally support the people in don barzyk. we show them that we are together. that don bust is also ukraine. ah, i molina is from a small town near from a tours she left in march 1st to poland and later to the ukrainian captain. honestly, i'm nervous and worried. you understand what the situation there is like. people are not safe there. i don't know what it will be like. i plan to staying chief, but the rent is too high and it's difficult to find work like everywhere. poland was no different, so i don't know the government has warned

people to leave the don bus region as it might not be possible to provide heating through the winter. but lena lives in an old of an heated house. she's confident she'll be better off, isn't i? i don't know what to feel. joy probably. finally, the 1st train and 6 months arrives and from muddles molina and her kids a hurrying off to their home in the wars in time. now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. turkey has begun holding funerals for the victims of a deadly mine explosion in the northern province of bart president, reggie of ty, at the one says 41, people were killed in the blast. more than 100 people were working in the mine at the time of explosion on friday evening. a communist party spokesman says

but it wasn't to be frankfurt can be a tricky place to travel to just ask, lave, accusing boss, shabby, alonzo. his 2nd one is league, a game in charge saw his team pitied against an inform intact side whose 1st half pressure paid off just shy of half time. when yes, belinda going was brought down inside the box and died. she commodity converted the resulting penalty. parity was restored shortly after the restock. thanks to this diving header from labor cubans piero in cap. yay. but the loss did less than 2 minutes until xander colo. juanita scored a small header of his own to put frankfurt back in france. ah, things soon went from bad to worse for the visitors. this audacious chip by
