hey, jackson, going talk to the 21st on the double you. ah, ah ah, this is d w. news live from violence leave several dead at a prison facility. in the iranian capital, power, flames billowed over the sky lined and gunshots were heard as a fire broke out and even the prison, 4 people i reported, did,

and dozens more injured. also on the program, ukraine says it still holds the strategic eastern city of back move, but the fight has intensified, crushing forces had repeatedly tried to seize it so far. finally. ah, i'm anthony, how to welcome officials in iran say a 4 inmates a dead after a night of clashes that even prison into the victims allegedly died of smoke inhalation. during a fire dozens, a said to be injured. hundreds of anti government demonstrators are being detained in the prison. iranian officials have denied a link to the protests that have swept the country for weeks. ah, flames illuminate the night sky on the outskirts of tehran, even prison,

infamous for holding political prisoners is ablaze. gunshots, loud bangs could be heard. ali, my city, go iranian, stay t v broadcast, images of the prisons. gutted interior. terrance governor lames, the inmates for the destruction i was in, had a letter that you do. if i a was caused by a fight between prisoners in his sewing workshop or your workshop was set up to create jobs for prisoners. sir. it's a false though, the even prison holds many of those recently arrested for protesting. iran has been rocked by people taken to the streets, anger of the death of gina, massa maney, while in police custody. the government says the fire in the protest, the unrelated that the place is prompted more people taking to the streets. ah, yes, i mean, he shouted demonstrators gathered on the road leading to the prison. ali carmine, these lubbock republic supreme leader is

a target of some demonstrators. they seem as the figure behind the deadly crackdowns on descent in the country. so far, the government's response as done little to stop protest like these or early i spoke to mac with amid eat mac had him ace the director of finance yo cold iran human rights. i started by asking him about the inmates, families and their reactions to last night's events a we have been contact with her with some families and did is some of them have received a cause or information and many haven't heard anything about the their family members were in prison and they are very concerned and in short, what are you hearing, what the family say they are hearing from the people inside? well, well basically what you have heard is that already actually,

there are some indications that the incident yesterday was premeditated, that the authorities in the previous days employed patient force is inside prisoners and that there have been gunshot. the prison guards have been shooting at prisoners. dead. yeah. or so thrown and tear gas in inside the wards is so unfortunately the story that the iranian t v and the authorities easton doesn't fit what we hear from the families. and just to want to line that point, you've heard nothing that matches with the official story that this was a fight between inmates that started in the sewing workshop. absolutely not. as i said, there are indications that the thirty's might have set the ground for a crock. down and it might have been premeditated. the running government was

also quick to rule out any link between the ration recent nationwide protests and this prison incident. do you think we are brought in any way to frame this incident alongside everything else that's happened in iran in the last month? did, there is no doubt about how conduct in prison is pork chop. what's going on inside in the streets of the country. as you know, many people out been transferred to have been prison boat from their homes, you know, human rights defenders, political activists. and also from the streets and in prison. and you know, we had a similar episode in another prison in norden, iran and also at prison 2 weeks ago in court just on. so it seems that prisoners in line with people on the street to have joined to protest and a crackdown is or so sit here inside the prison as it is outside

the prison itself has had a reputation that includes torture and denying medical attention to inmates just quickly could this incident be any sort of catalyst for change there? but you know, we have the brightest people about to say in the as in prison and did what i hope this incident, my fleet to is it that it will, it, i hope it forces the international community to take an action because there are thousands of prisoners who are in danger right now, and i hope that the united nation, so it does something by starting get independent investigation or holding those responsible a come to a maybe mcadam, thanks so much for time or alice bring you up to date now. and some of the other stories making headlines around the world, nigerian authority say more than 600 people have been killed by flooding. during this year's rainy season, the floods have submerged tens of thousands of homes and displaced more than

2000000 people. un officials say it's the worst flooding to hit nigeria in at least a decade. yeah. and as president jerry in the 70 has imposed to locked out on 2 districts at the center of an a bowl. a virus outbreak. authorities have ordered a night curfew bod, personal travel, and shattered public spaces in the central districts that have been day. and cassandra 19 people have died since the outbreak was reported last month. and the young chinese president seizing thing, has opened his communist parties. congress members are expected to hand him a rare 3rd term in office. in his address, she stressed his goal of re unifying the self governing island of ty, one, even if it means using force and 1000 to marching in paris to protest. soaring living costs and government inaction on climate change, protesters are demanding higher wages and bought energy companies to pay taxes on

windfall profits. the rallies come amid ongoing strikes, the fuel refineries and deposed that have led to widespread gasoline shortages or president border. mr. lensky says, fighting around the eastern ukrainian city of back mod has intensified pro russian forces had previously announced they were moving closer to the city and making gains. but salenti says it is still held by ukrainians, exhausted residents. now, without electric electricity, or water, and many say they're desperate for the fighting twit 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 rained down and i will give them to the my sister is under this rubble go quick. as of no one comes to clean it up. yours by

use of them. every one is afraid because of this, right? yes, go get was in, i miss, i'll hit the neighbors place, but it, it yellow. the father was killed by shrapnel, so will be done. then the house was head tucked on and it burned down, but the idea was belinda buck moot, sits at a strategic point in the da net 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 got a very difficult situation, persists in for the netscape and lance regions to most difficult to seem a buck new 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 or 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. ok, franklin, which joins me his a single letter in strategy and law at the university of portsmouth and a former military intelligence officer. good to say frank, russia climbs, had seizing ground near buck mode. why are its forces able to at least apply pressure there while losing territory in other parts of ukraine? anything? well, he writes until that they're losing territory hand over fist. they lost $300.00 villages or so in the recent park of a fancier van. the ukrainian forces, of course, are approaching curse on in the west, best to bath moat. as the report indicated, the russians had been grinding away their kilometer here, 500 meters there to the last 3 months. it is an important junction. however, in that region, it's probably right to say that the russian ship

a bit more wary of defending crime. nina and the approaches to this is chance about in ask which ukraine is lost some time ago that trying to take bounce back moon. when does suspect, though, that there is an eternal russian political aspect to this, the main units approaching back moot are set to be mercenary units from this. so called wagner company. and i did that, there's some evidence that that company is seeking to dominate in that region. russian military operations boat term. it's not here nor there. they've been pushing away now for 3 months now. continue to do so. frank washington post is reporting that iran is set to ship ballistic missiles and invade drones to russia. how could this effect the war if true? yes, it is very interesting. this. first of all, it shows the russians are running out or have run out of certain elements of their armory, perhaps short range, ballistic missiles,

the new year. any iranian weapons are quite effective. they're fairly long. range is 30700 kilometers, carry reasonable warheads. but of course are designed for use against israel by hello, and data rating forces. and i think that sort of medium term. so this might be that israel and certainly science today that israel is starting to take the view that if iran is weighing on the russian side, it's incumbent on israel to do so on the ukrainian side. if they do that to be a significant boone for ukrainian, our defense is particularly israel, is got stuck in with some assistance. there is very good news, new ukraine. but for now, what it says is, the russians are running out of the missiles, simplest that love to look at from the international perspective here. frank, including the chinese foreign ministry, urging it citizens to leave you crying. what can we read into that? if anything, i'm not too sure we can read too much into it. the british gave a similar instruction a few months ago. the last such instruction of the u. s,

which still stands in august. so in other words, if you're a us citizen, your advice to leave kevin, indeed ukraine, it's too dangerous. and i think a chinese simply falling into line. now, i don't think there's any evidence that chinese know something we don't it standard diplomatic practice as far as i'm aware. franklin, which thing electra in strategy and law at the university of portsmouth. thanks so much for your time. thank you. artisan sport now and in mother j pe spence, alec prince. when a dramatic spreading bron pre to claim his 1st victory of the season, rents pip to tidal continued francesco bag naya to the post. but it was another worrying outing for running champion fabio. quite that out. all his grip on the world title appears to be slipping. if fabio quarter ru fails to retain the move to gp world championship, the chances are he will look back on phillip island as the moment it got away.

desperate to regain ground after an early mistake, saw him slip from 5th 22nd overcooked to turn on latin and slid out of the race. francesco bog, naya was the big beneficiary. the italian stormed to the front and led going into the final lap. but blistering finishes from alex wrens and the legendary mark marquez. so the ducati, lenovo man fit to 3rd rinse, took the flag to become the 7th different winner the season. well back now, as 3rd place puts him 14 points. i had a quarter are all going into the seasons penultimate race and malaysia. but the day belonged to spain's rennes says okay, reclaimed. what could be a last when for suzuki before the team quit smooth g p at the end of the season. but before we go, his a reminder of the top story, we're following for you, the cell officials in iran site for people a did and dozens of engine after

a fire and clashes broker and present in taylor a link to the current government protests was denied. the cities governance as the incident, was spot by a fight between prisons and that's all the news for now. you're up to date, our technology program shift is up next. this time looking at how robots are used to boost worth placed inclusion that's coming up after a short break. i'm anthony. how do i have another bulletin for you and 45 minutes time he named more before d w dot com is wake up. now thanks watching a vibrant habitat ended glistening place of long the mediterranean sea scene of l muster. and to far abdul karim drift along, explore.
