armine shown to demonstrate as gathered on the road leading to the prison. ali khamenei, the slamming republic supreme leader is a target of some demonstrate as they seem as the figure behind the deadly crackdowns on descent in the country. so far, the government's response as and little to stop protest like these. for more on this, i am joined by to job usa, theresa chapa, who's been following this story. she's traveled extensively to iran over the past 8 years, reporting for d w. tracy. what can you tell us about the recent events at even prison in tehran? while at the moment it's very hard to verify when say what exactly happened last night and even prison. because it's very hard to verify the videos and the eye witness reports coming out of iran at the moment. but when the fire broke out, and these shouts of death to the dictator were heard, many people in, hey ron,

hoped it might have been the prisoners themselves that set the prison on fire to escape, while others feared it was the security forces trying to kill inmates so that's why many people into iran made their way towards of, in prison, which is in the north of, to run in a residential area actually to block the speeds and to make sure that not more security forces could rush to the scene or take your prisoners away the other way and it was published on social media also so that you guys might have been hired in front of him in prison with family and friends of the inmates were gathering to demand their release. and many, many gunshots could be heard. so as i said, it's hard to verify all of that at the moment, especially since internet was shut down in many areas of the capital. but i guess it will take some time to find out what exactly happened and what scale last night into iran. you know, you know, the government was very quick to deny that there was any connection between what happened at the prison recently. and of course,

is widespread protests that we've been seeing across iran now for days. what are you hearing? yeah, as you said, like the islamic republic. judiciary says it was the clashes between inmates that were convicted for other crimes. and, but most iranians and experts do not believe that at the moment, voices are shared on social media of people inside of, in prison, from people who are able to talk to them. and they suggest the classes might have been and was 7, an 8 of evan prison. and these appear to be exactly the ones where the political prisoners are being held that were captured like during the last round of protests in the last couple of weeks. so students, journalists, artists, lawyers, people like that. this is with raising eyebrows. this is what the raising eyebrow there. and as i said, all of that is not verified at the moment, but it wouldn't be the 1st time in its history that the islamic republic actually kills its potential political opposition. back in 1998 m,

since of prisoners were killed according to human rights groups. and one of the man responsible for that, it was in the death coming to you, the so called one back then is now iran's president abraham racy. so i fear there's good reason for many iranians around the world to be worried. and that's why we saw big spontaneous gatherings not only into iran, but around the world. also he and berlin in front of the foreign ministry of iranians, trying to raise attention to what's happening inside iran in evan prison at the moment. many, many thanks to you, our in house, iran expert, teresa trump, now some of the other stories making headlines around the world at this hour. thousands are marching in paris to protest soaring living costs and government inaction on climate change. purchasers are demanding higher wages and one energy companies to pay taxes on winful profits. the rallies come amid ongoing strikes. if fuel refineries in depots that have led to widespread gasoline shortages. uganda

also killed in the attack. president allowed him, his zalinski says, fighting around the eastern city of buck, mood has intensified in ukraine. pro russian forces had previously announced they are moving closer to the city and making gains, but zalinski says it is still held by ukrainians. exhausted residents are without electricity or water, and many say they're desperate for the fighting to end ah, on the road, into the city of back. moot, there are constant remind is that the front line is just a few kilometers away. inside the city, russian missiles repeatedly ran down to know what the news of my sister is under this rebel. good news of i, no one comes to clean it up your way. is that with them? every one is afraid because of this, right? it's just the goal was in i miss i had the neighbors place really keela. the father

was killed by shrapnel, though better than the house was head tucked on and it burned down, but doesn't hurry unless belinda buck mood sits at a strategic point in the donetta gradient of the dumbass. ukraine has been making significant territorial gains in the countries east in recent wakes, but russian backed forces say they're moving closer to the city. those are just gus, it's a very difficult situation, persists internet, scanned lance, regions for most difficult to seem a buck direction. but we hold our positions, residents say they don't have electricity, gas, all water venturing outside for supplies is dangerous. some residents say they're angry at both sides and just want the fighting to end. and i mean, we don't need one of the other. we don't need war. looks like we just want to live at home. that dormer, we do ukrainian, and russian troops doggin across the region. the people still in back moot can do

little, but hope to survive another day of the war. again, russia claims its troops are advancing near the town about mood while losing territory. it claimed elsewhere. i asked mike martin from the king's college in london, what's different there for russian forces? the difference here is that the buddhist part of the dumbass and so your views are probably remember once president putin had given up trying to overthrow the government in keys. he announced that the operation would be focused on the don bus and lance and don't ask and moot is necessary in order to make any progress in those areas. and so what the ukrainians are doing is they're fighting a very, very slow defense to tie up russian forces which enables the ukrainians to make advances elsewhere. are you essentially saying that the russians are hunker down

around places like this particular region department where the ukrainians? yeah, are, are it's called nutritional defense way. you move back slowly and you give up territory in order to inflict damage on your enemy. right. what about the ukrainians here? how are they faring in their offenses in the north and south? so in the northeast again, you just remember there was this big offensive about 3 weeks ago and that's continuing. and what the trainings are trying to do there is cuts the russian supply lines which run north to south. and so they run into places like back mood and several don't ask in the dumbass if the ukrainians can cut that line. that will make the russian position in the dorm much, much more difficult. so they're having some slow success there. and in the south in her son, so yesterday and offensive kicked off an initial report that the ukrainians

just put in a small attack which was unsuccessful. but now a media blackout has been declared across the whole region by the ukrainian government. and so we don't know what's going on, but certainly on is a major target for the ukrainians. it's a great localized look now, what sort of do a birds eye view here are the russian president vladimir putin says he's beginning to wind down his mobilization efforts. as far as you can see, are those fresh troops making any impact on the battle? ground writ large. well, with the mobilization of 300000 troops, you've got 2 options. you either and these are untrained, right? so you either send them into battle untrained or you spend some time training them up. it seems that they've, they've taken both approaches and some troops have arrived in ukraine already, and some have already been killed. and that's basically what's going to happen. if you have untrained troops. there will be more chips coming in the new year,

i'm sure with better levels of training from this mobilization. but so far we've seen no effect whatsoever. no military affects whatsoever. this mobilization on the ukrainian battlefields. mike, we have 10 seconds at the risk of offending you, russian and bill russian troops are mashing on ukraine's northern border. do you think very quickly they're go. they're planning to invade. impossible to say whether they will. they why the most important thing is that they're tying up ukrainian forces. you have to obviously take the threat seriously. got it. that's mike martin from king's college in london. many thanks. as always. thank you to china now where president shing ping has warned of difficult times ahead and called on his delegates to support him resolutely speaking at the communist party congress . she repeated his goal of bringing the self governing island of taiwan under chinese rule by force if necessary. she is ruth, however,
