ah ah this is the w news live from berlin. keep wakes up to a fresh series of blasts. people are told to take shelter after a parent thrown to tax is the same part of the ukrainian capital. the russian strikes did one week ago. president,

aging ping is said to become china's most powerful ruler since mounted on a communist party. he is up to reelect him for another 5 year term as party leader . she says he doesn't rule out using force to take back time. one added the buddhist legal when you're belinda unbelievable. stand to the season, gets even better as they beat the rules, the adult book to extend that lead at the top of the league. ah, i've been for solon welcome. we begin with breaking news from ukraine, where fresh explosions have hit the capital. keith, president, florida zalinski, says russia, you so cold kamikaze drones to attack, the city keeps mer, says residential buildings have been damaged and he urged people to take shelter.

the explosions come one week after moscow launched a large scale air strikes across you, crane. and despite president vladimir putin saying he has no plans for further attacks of that kind. let's cross now to our correspondent, funny for char in cave. funny several explosions reported there. what is the latest currently the people keep are kind of getting a breather because the area alerts just went off. that means you can, i should get out of a get out of the shelter, even though in general, actually it's advised to stay in those shelters. to day as long as possible because you just do not know what is happening next. what just to give you a little bit of a recap here. what happened here this morning? basically i woke up to the sound. what was, as it turns out, the sound of a drone was so close to my room that literally i had a moment to jump out of bed. and i tried to look for a different room within the apartment where i'm staying and in that moment is i'm jumping out already. i'm hearing the 1st explosion. as journalists, of course,

we need to figure out what's happening. so the 1st thing i did after the explosion going to the terrorist here and looking, looking at that impact of that 1st explosion. you do not know exactly what was hit, but i saw the smoke and shortly after i also saw a huge bible. now officially, what we know so far, according to of the ukrainian may or the several residential buildings, we are damaged and apparently critical infrastructure attack. now, when we talk about critical infrastructure, this can be anything from eating plant energy plant in the city. we do have a heating plan, but so far we do not know it has not been confirmed that that was hit also of course there is a lot that's not being shared right now by of the ukrainian government to not give away too much information to a russia so to basically not help them to know whether they have achieved or what they wanted and reach their designated target. as i'm saying there's a breather right now. but despite of that, people are on alert and bracing for what else is to come today, which is basically the 2nd large scale air strike offensive just within

a week. because as you remember, just last week, monday, key of cdn, many pos of ukraine were attacked and to day, once again was just before rush hour was again on monday. and again, the same district where i am right now in a church jenko district where this attack, these multiple attacks and explosions have cured ben. funny, the russians tried taking keith at the very beginning of this war is this now just indiscriminate destruction? the different reasons that russia may, may look at why they're actually doing this again. i mean, it would have been the 1st strike happened last week. and monday everybody was speculating. but h connect to the fact that there was a blast on the crimea bridge. mayor russia says it is accusing ukraine for that this time around. well, on sunday, actually at the administrative building of don. yes, the administrative, a city of emerson. if capital often gets region was hit,

and russia says and accuses again that this was ukraine, whether the assault and key of city is a directory to the ation. the all over the fact that i would, or over the implication that it, what russia cause now, russian territory because donates, has been an acts by russia. whether these a direct answer to that and what was happening on sunday, we do not know, but suits in the of course, the very fact that during the course of the past weeks, the counter offensive by ukrainian forces was quite successful. why russia was more or less on the defensive may implicate and indicate that yes sir, for now, at least russia is resorting to more indiscriminate shelling to basically as people here say on the ground to terrorize people to scare them. and to de motivate all of the resistance that was a building up over the course of the past months among ukrainians to defend their country and to help win this war. if you take the capital, i guess you've got

a much better chance of taking the entire country of funny ukraine's presidential office beliefs. kamikaze drones are being used as the evidence for that. the evidence. the alleged evidence that was presented by q smear clips co was a picture of the remains of a so called cami costs a dro and allegedly supplied by iran. this is what you're crying keeps it keeps saying, and, and, and so at this is the evidence is being presented. it wouldn't be as totally new because in fact, over the course of the, of, of the previous attacks can be caught. drones were used before, which basically means that these are drones that drop on the target and explode. and as i say, i heard literally very close to my bedroom. you do not really have much time to react and go out to a shelter. but the problem with these draws is also that because the heat also quite indiscriminately, they can hit very important critical infrastructure which results in a blackout or at least a partial blackout. in many parts of the country. i visited one of the towns at

that experience for the very 1st time, and he swore a black i'll last week, monday after those attack i after his attacks. ok, inca is the name of the town a what people are really preparing for a very tough into and trying to look for alternative means to heat and power their homes. let's have a look at this report. gladys love is proud of this woodstove. he built it during the war last week, yet to use it for the very 1st time. when i, when we were getting ready for winter. when we expected that there will be an outage at some point or shelly on, critical infrastructure, audio grammar, bloody slough, and his neighbors in a claim on your key turned the garage into shelters. they are building fireplaces, in case the energy supply goes down again. like last week when russia hit roughly one 3rd of ukraine's electricity and heating infrastructure. many parts of the country including acclaimed cal, we are plunged into darkness. people in the stone i know struggling to find

alternative means to power and heat their homes before winter, and possibly more blackouts arrive. nobody here believes that the war will end any time soon. and many feel helpless. show to watch is full of how can i prepare for this is everything i use runs on electricity when it is minus 20 degrees and there's no power in this cold weather. this will be really bad, valuable. it was a bon, a year called through there, but if i have blanket destroy, usually you can some food out that it does not need to be cooked. give notice that had a what the of course here, city officials have said they will buy generators that can, of which are an active is to your says, there is not enough money to supply every one. much of the course. that is our call to save energy and the electron that he was she a steak into social media, to advise people what to do. we inform we're more low then we will tell people how to decrease consumption in peak hours. you must switch off the stove, the capital of the heater, the boiler, and the washing machine whirl

a bridle. masula that said they showed up that way you can safe electricity and avoid a blackout in a double split. the veal with with gluten blood is love. can afford a generator and he is stocked up on food on like many of his fellow citizens, he's better prepared. he's more worried about others. marcia, probably him was, these are problems here. they're not even close to the problems on the front line with them. that's why we mostly don't think about ourselves. we think about our granny's, our grandpa wobble for pensioners sydney, and the guys in the battlefield is that is not popular. lawful. no one here knows exactly what winter will bring, but every one wants to make it through. a we got a feeling for what the moods like there in your report. funny, when people better prepared this time, you can't really prepare for the spam because this can happen in the middle of the night. and in fact, lot of people have been killed in the middle of the night while they were in their

apartments. when there is in shall, building, was hit. no, you cannot really prepare for it, but people are definitely are more aware of the strikes and more aware of the area alerts and when they hear them and they are not sleeping. because as i say a very often you don't even hear them in the middle of the night with wendy here than they actually now take the more seriously here and keep city and they are trying to look for shelter. but yeah, all of these attacks, especially the ones by the drone, was a quite perfidious. and as a result, it's just just a very dangerous situation. you have to keep seeing an alert and seem to just know word the next shall rayas. funny. such are for us in keep thank you very much for your reporting. chinese communist party is holding it's 20th party congress the twice a decade. event is expected to culminate in she did pings re election for 3rd term as leader, making him chinese most influential leader. since mounted all dressing party members, she said china would never announced the right to use force to reunify taiwan. he also called for accelerating the country's military build up safeguarding national

next years will be also dominated by ideology, by political control. and in general by an emphasis on national security and security in general. what also i found remarkable is that a sheeting ping in his opening speech of the particle wrists did not talk so much about economic growth, but rather about marxism about. and yet more ideological terms, like what was interesting is also that he didn't mentioned most of the really am severe problems that people are facing, economic progress also and the suffering of people under locked on the real estate prices and also the reckless hi am youth unemployment that was fabi incredible in beijing who's following the party congress now to some of the other stories making news. brazil's president and rival have held in that 1st one on one's a beta ahead of a run off vote, incumbent leadership bugs, and our overall exchanged heated words with brazil. former president, luis enough,

a little bit over 2 weeks before the polls. little silver one the election, the 1st round with 48 percent of the vote. pilots of germany's euro wings airline have started a 3 day strike to demand better pay in working conditions. the budget carrier says more than half of the 400 schedule flights will still operate. it's the latest in a series of strikes from pilots at euro wings, a subsidiary of lufthansa. nigerian authorities say more than 600 people have been killed by funding during this is rainy season floods have submerged tens of thousands of homes and displaced as many as 2000000 people. un official say, it's the was planning to hit nigeria in least a decade. officials in iran say 8 inmates a dead after unrest at tay runs even prison. victims allegedly died of smoke inhalation. during a fire. officials have denied a link to the mass protests, sweeping the country. hundreds of demonstrators being held at the prison as

nationwide anti government protests. rage, weeks after a young woman died in police custody european union foreign ministers made today to discuss the blas response to the iranian re james finance crackdown of protests. they divided over watch if any sanctions may be an effective tool to influence iran's leadership dw mcsaunder has this report from brussels. ah, the pain runs deep. and these women have chosen not to because they have taken to the streets of brussels to echoed the voices of women leading the protest in iran, if you can choose, if you can't control your body, if you can't control your mattie, if you can't say i want to have freedom while you can be, i'm healing, been very bad. marchese is one of the protest organizers. her group wants to keep the momentum going and keep the world's attention on the struggle back home. it is

not a really when weeks now people have been demonstrating, ron activists say, some 200 have died and protest defying environment, correct? on my authority, the european union is yet to take action. so far, the european parliament has voted on a resolution calling for sanctions against tara belgian left m. e. p. mark potential belongs to the minority. not supporting this. if we want to have an impact, i think we need to engage to commit and even perhaps reconsider sanctions that are in place. because one of the absurdities today is that people protesting have more difficulties accessing internet or like messaging apps, the skype and so on. because of western sanctions. so that makes no sense at all. e foreign ministers are expected to approve penalties. the sanctions will likely targets 16 individuals and entities connected to the government's brutal response to the protests. human rights sanctions have been in place for years with no

measurable effect and changing the behavior of the iranian regime. these new sanctions might in fact not moved a needle, much among a sanctioned, ardent regime. but we know from their statements that you should back down on it sanctions that it does not like them. so the sanction send an important signal of moral support to due to the protesters and 72 european citizens, that their union stands for freedom of expression. and against torture at an extra judicial killings. oh protesters in brussels are divided on the issue of sanctions. free by our mackenzie says she believes they will hurt the iranian people, not the government. we went out over to you and your regime. just leave when i ask you to do nothing. that's the thing you want to ask. nothing even do that. just don't deal with iranian regime. ah, most here agree change and iran will depend on the struggle of iranians themselves

and not the west o c bar shock. he is an, a rainy in german filmmaker and political activist. she was born and grew up in tay . ron, welcome back to the show. good to see you again. do you think more sanctions will help or hinder the struggle for civic and human rights in iran? i think it cannot be said sanction. yes or no. the iranian regime has to be sanctioned. there has to be no ties to the wrong in regime to the officials in the government. but the people as soon as the people are going to be heard, for instance, what we just heard. that people can not connect with europe or with america, with friends, with activists outside the country, that harms the people. and that is not good. so there has to be a very strict differentiation. anything that harms the government? yes. anything that harms the people know,

are you able to communicate effectively with, with friends and contacts inside iran and, and what are you hearing from them? it is very difficult at times at times it becomes easier because we also have to take an account closing down infinite harms the iranian government as well. hon. the iranian economy. they lose millions and billions of dollars for each hour that they close down or slow down internet, so they have to open it. and these are the things the moment when we can communicate as well. and what i hear is that people will not stop until the government is thrown over. so better for germany, europe, america, the united states, to, to puts themselves on the side of the people and cut all ties to the regime, call in the investors,

close to embassy. and even we have begun in some places in the world to go to the embassies and take ownership of the embassies because they are being led by the same government by the same people who are blood on their hands. and we have to take these consulates and, and embassies out of their hands. and this is what the governments in europe, in the united states can do as well. i asked you this last time we spoke, but what women risking in iran at the moment by just taking to the streets by you know, even taking a huge absorb for cutting the hair. i remember this question and i thought about it, i'm since you asked me and i can, i can only repeat every thing we knows every thing in iran because we show a little bit of hair as if this hair has become the most dangerous weapon in the

world seems to be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. and 2 things to that. if the foreign countries want to stop brought it in your power, they should cut the ties once again, cut the ties to the iranian regime. and 2nd, what does what to women news? as of woman in iran, it's not just a moment when you are outside and you protest and you risk your life and you can die. but it's a home your home for the rest of your life. you're under this pressure under this under this inhuman i act that you as a woman, i thought worse as much as a man. she russia, if thank you very much for talking to us again, or rainy rider and political activist talking about the situation there in iran right now. looking at some other world news. torrential rains
