ah ah ah, this is d, w is coming to live from berlin, a deadly drone assault on the center of chief, because he clearly beyond me the devastation. this is a residential building. a 4 story building. several people are reported dead following fresh russian strikes on ukrainian cities. gifts mayor calls them terror

attacks. also coming up. you foreign ministers, me to discuss response to tay runs deadly crack down on and he regime protests. but as far as sanctions go, there's deep division over who they heard most and the northern hemisphere is heading for a 3rd winter in the shadow of covered 19. we'll take a look at how far we've come and moving past the pandemic. ah. hello terry martin, good to have you with us. fresh explosions have rocked the ukrainian capital. keith president below them is lensky says russia use so called kamikaze drones to attack the city. ukraine says at least 3 people have died following an attack on a residential building. rescue crews are trying to free those trapped under the rubble authority, say russian spy and other regions of ukraine left several more dead than knocked

out power. 2 hundreds of towns, a bright hall from morning and keep shattered by more deadly attacks from russia. ukrainian capital woke up to a series of explosions early on monday morning. this residential building now a smouldering wreck was one of several stroke. at least 3 people are believed to have died. as emergency teams worked to rescue injured survivors from the rubble shocked residence, waited on news of their family and neighbors. fully equipped came here after getting a phone call from our mother who said she was under the ramble. she said, please find someone urgently to help me. i'm buried under the ravel. we don't know if she's still under the rabble. we were told some one was taken to hospital. it might have been hurt, but we dont know. no, not even with ukraine's government says the attacks used so called kamikaze drones

made in iran. oh, they can lawyer overhead before finding and hitting a target. surveying the damage keeps mayor of italy. plesco said moscow was deliberately targeting civilians, they destroyed our country, they destroyed our hometown, did they kill city allows right now and we see the error days bear up is there a dock is through the search true phrase of this one? roger. good. the russians need you brainy, resolved your granules in there. why the keel, severe people? the attacks come just a week after russia struck key for the 1st time in several months. d. w correspondent, funny fracture reported from the aftermath of one of the attacks is unclear just how many people remain trapped here. but one message is clear, a russia is not going to let go of attacking. he had to sit in a sense,

civilian indiscriminate challenge that the people here are witnessing the people of keith had gotten used to a degree of normality in recent months. but these attacks have brought the brutality of war rushing back short while ago dw mathias pulling a gave me this update from keith. that's in that. yeah, i'm just a few meet is from the place where funny, where we've just seen funny being this morning. we've been driven out a little bit by the police from here. i know, at least for the explosions happened to day in peeve. these were caused by coming cancer, drones by these iranian made coming concert drones that have been attacking the country for a few weeks. now we heard that at least one person is dead, and 18 people have been rescued from the rubble and but to the rescue work is still ongoing. and then there are fears that there might more attacks might follow. that

has been another air raid alarm. since then and news that something was flying in our direction again. so we will see what the day brings. understand many of the drones were shot down. mathias are keeps air defenses, improving friday. that's right sir. 28 drones we heard were launched. woods give a number of explosions for maybe 5 i so the majority of them were shut down. now, these iranian drones that relatively new weapons in this war and for the every new weapon poses a new challenge to the air rates is to, to the air defenses. and in the beginning, we saw that many of these drones were getting through, but with time more and more our shut down. now we had a tax or drones launched a key of every day. but most of the time they didn't hit today, they launched a big number and the bigger the number,

the more the probability is that some of them will get through. but your friends are learning quickly to deal with these. they pose a certain challenge because they fly pretty low so the rate is won't catch them as easily as rockets, for example. and it's more difficult to react to them. but it is, it's a permanent process of adaptation and we are seeing that defenses are much better now than they were just a few weeks ago. how prepared or the people of key of for attacks like this mathias would have been that everybody in ukraine knows that any time something can hit in their neighborhood. but you can of course, not sit in the, in the, in the basement for each month for you can not, at some point live resumes and people start going out people's sleep in their beds . and then it happens when it happens. people are wary of things happening, but it's not, it's not possible to adjust life completely to the possibility that something can

happen. what works very well is the reaction man, institutions and services are very quick tube i at the side to rescue people and also to repair the damage so that life can go on. but he has thank you very much. our correspond mathias bellinger in chief it crane says many of russia's recent attacks have used iranian, made drones to run, denies selling drones to russia. but analysts see evidence of iranian instructors training russian soldiers to use them. here's a look at what the unmanned tools of war are and what rushes doing with them. ah, they call it the moped for its loud crude mechanical noise that can be heard from far away. the iran made sha head 136 drone here, seen hovering over odessa. but it's no joke. these drones can have devastating

effects, though iran deny selling them to russia. kia says fragments of this drone shot down in southern ukraine, have iranian, as well as russian markings. the shower head is a series of drones made by a rod. the 136 has a wingspan of 2 and a half meters and carries 40 kilograms of explosives. it's classified as a loitering munition. it can hang out for hours in the air until a target is found than it zooms in, becoming a missile that destroys itself on impact. what makes iranian drones useful to russia is that they are cheap, haven't the shot had $136.00 can cost about $20000.00 euros each equal. i is the growth mm. all my, the m and jak niga that he russia flies them alone or in low altitude swarms, hoping that one or 2 will get 3 ukrainian air defenses which have trouble seeing them. although several have been shot down.

ukraine is still figuring out how to deal with the threat they pose, but they will have to act fast. president zalinski claims that russia has ordered more than 2000 of the shop heads. earlier i spoke with frank lead. we're j, a senior lecturer and strategy and law at the university of portsmouth and a former military intelligence officer. i asked him earlier, how effective drones are compared to other forms of aerial attacks. the public near cranium perspective is, is swaby aspect, and otherwise they'll be firing salvos of $23040.00, of which most of most of which of course will be shot down by ukrainian. i defense is the total is over time. if the economy is going to be using miss 1000 to fix as far as on, when are mostly well, to great extent, they are not,

we'll have it. eventually the effect of cutting down the numbers of, of, of missiles, of the crane is half, they're very cheap. and missiles are very expensive, so the credit is going to be working on other ways to shoot down these drums by way of guns. for example, the german gap, our system is very good under the close in weapon systems. so to come back to your question, how effective they are, they're very effective in large numbers. they have an attrition. the fact. but i think over the next few weeks, ukraine is beginning to grip on this. it's a worry that military is of had a long time and he kind, he's getting plenty of help and they're developing their own counter matches quite successfully for military intelligence officer frank led, which their officials in iran say 8 inmates are dead after unrest to runs ebbing prison, the victims allegedly died of smoke inhalation during a fire. officials have denied a link to the mass protest sweeping the country. hundreds of demonstrators are

being held at the prison as nationwide anti government protests. rage, weeks after a young woman died in police custody. european union, foreign ministers are meeting in luxembourg today to discuss the blocks response to the iranian regimes, violent crackdown on protesters. they are divided on whether sanctions or an effective tool to influence iran's leadership. d w. max tonda has this report from brussels. ah, the pain runs deep, and these women have chosen not to be calling. they have taken to the streets of brussels to echoed the voices of women leading the protests 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, how you can be, i'm a human being very by 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 oh for weeks now people have been demonstrating,

ron activists say, some 200 have died and protest to fight environment correct. on my authority. the european union is yet to take action. so far the european parliament has voted on the resolution calling for sanctions against tara belgian left. m. e. p. mark po tango 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. you foreign ministers are expected to approve penalties. the sanctions will likely target 16 individuals and entities connected to the government's brutal response to the protest. 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 sanity to 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 mckenzie says she believes they will hurt the iranian people, not the government. we went over to you and your regime. just we want to ask you to do nothing. that's the thing we want to ask. nothing even do that. just don't the, the iranian regime most here agree change and iran will depend on the struggle of

iranians themselves and not the west or corresponded. jack perez is in luxembourg, where the, those you foreign ministers are meeting today. jack the is policy is foreign policy chief has condemned iran's crackdown protesters. what can we expect from those you foreign ministers in terms of action? well, just had it confirmed terry that they will sanction 11 individuals, 11 people, and full entities for the crocodile in these protests for freedom of expression. and we also, although all of this will be entered into the journal of the european union officially, tomorrow we, we do understand that the iranian morality police, the finger of blame, is directly pointed towards them for this crime. that they are indeed one of those entities that will involve travel bonds, asset freezes. the question is, what effect this will have as there's been

a real tacit understanding among the you foreign ministers here today. that this could have some big effects on their attempts to stabilize and bring the us back into the iran euclid deal, which is obviously that the intention of trying to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. but as i say, we know that people and entities on i being sanctioned by the european union in iran. okay. there's a lot on the agenda there at that meeting. they understand they are european for ministers will also discuss iran's alleged involvement in russia's invasion of ukraine. what are they saying about that? yeah, there's a lot of sort of accusations that iranian drones are being used on the bombings in ukraine as we heard in max's report that now the danish for a minister on his way. and he seemed to suggest that they believed that was happening. we've heard some other foreign ministers coming out of the meetings saying that actually there's not enough proof of that yet. and that needs to be established before they would then create sanctions for specifically that issue.

now that ukraine has been a big issue, indeed, dmitri labor, the ukrainian foreign minister, he addressed the foreign ministers from and bunker, but his, the air raid sirens were going on. we do know that the european union has announced a training mission for ukraine 2 years, but to potentially about a 100 plus a 1000000 euros to be spent around $16000.00 ukrainian troops are likely to be trained on a use soil, both new recruits and establish soldiers this is quite interesting, terry, because 6 weeks ago, odd when these same ministers met in prague. this was totally not on the table. the foreign policy chief has suggested it, but, but you countries just were not on board, but they have managed to sign off on that on that mission today. having said that, countries like hungry have said that they will use that constructive abstention as in they won't be involved, but they'll let the other countries go on and put this mission forward. okay,

baltic states they're calling for a special tribunal to prosecute russia over the ukraine invasion. how are other e u countries reacting to that, jack? well, it doesn't look like the it is got quite as much traction as the baltic. countries may have hope. so lithuania, stone, you in latvia on the way into the meeting, they did a joint doorstep saying what they wanted the special tribunal to investigate and prosecute the crime of aggression. not things like genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity was come under the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, which is itself, investigating the crimes going on in ukraine right now. important to say that the dutch for a minister frances, he said, actually i think the structures that are in place already enough to try and fight impunity for the crimes that are being perpetrated. and on the see a lot of those international tribunals. and course that housed in the hague. jack, thank you very much. our correspondent, jack barrick there in luxembourg. now some other stories making headlines around

the world today. the new u. k. finance minister has scrapped nearly all of the prime minister liz trusses disputed tax cuts. chancel, jeremy hunt suspended a plan that would have caught the basic income tax rate, also scaled back and energy price cap scheme trust is proposal sparked market turmoil when it was announced weeks ago, causing the british pound to lunge. speculation. sweden's parliament has confirmed moderate party leader of christus on as prime minister. he will had a 3 party minority coalition, with the christian democrats and liberals on the block will rely on the support of the far right sweden. democrats who emerged as the 2nd largest party in alexei stand up to maze. rollin will allow a number of afghans at risk of persecution to come to germany. the foreign and interior ministries announced that around $1000.00 afghans and their families will be granted entry. they include activists, journalists,

and religious minorities. it will soon be 3 years since the 1st reports emerged from the chinese city of wu han about a deadly new respiratory disease. the world health organizations, corona's, dashboard corona virus dashboard provides a stark illustration of how coven 19 has affected us. all. hundreds of thousands of cases are reported every day with well over half a 1000000000 documented so far. no corner of the globe has been left untouched. off more, let's speak to nina shwale. she's a vaccination and immunization expert and a principal fellow ah, dealing at the united nations international is due for global health. she's attending the world health summit that is taking place in berlin right now. thanks for being with us. it's been almost 3 years now, since we learned about the 1st coven case where things stand now, are we, how close are we to an end to this pandemic?

i thanks for the question. and thanks for having me here. unfortunately, until everybody's vaccinated, we really won't be able to call an end to this pandemic. we still have people dying, we have thousands of people dying around the world each day and, and the best way to protect ourselves is really to get vaccinated. which prevents us from getting ellen and from death. so we've still got a long way to go. we depend on because brought to light vast inequalities with respect to vaccine distribution. according to the world health organization, vaccination rates and low income countries stand at 19 percent or compared to almost 75 percent in high income countries. how can this gap be overcome? yeah, i think we have to think about it right from the start, and when we have new vaccines available, we have to essentially reserve some for low income countries. a, it can't be a pay to play market on, on vaccines from vaccination. and although there was a global effort through kovacs facility, global effort, world health organization,

gabby, and others to try to, to try to correct for that inequality there. the rich countries really, really got in line 1st. and a lot of the manufacturing of vaccines is still based and in hiring come countries, which meant that unfortunately, again, the higher income countries came in line for. so yeah, less than a quarter of people in low income countries have been vaccinated. well, you're an immunization expert and you've been focusing up one of the things been focusing on gender inequality in this whole matrix has covet, affected women differently than men. and unfortunately, or fortunately, women are primarily caregivers. they're the primary caregivers. they comprise a lot of the primary healthcare workforce and women have experienced a double triple quadruple burden from this disease. they're taking care of their parents, they're taking care of their children, they're going to work. and a lot of women have lost their jobs as a result or had to leave the workforce. so the is the extreme burden on women

during the pandemic has, has made them really disproportionately affected over men besides and beyond the epidemiology. also, in terms of access to vaccine coverage, women have burden at home. they often work in the informal settings. many of us who work in jobs vaccines were offered at our workplace. but for women in the informal care setting or in the informal care societies, they didn't have access to vaccines in the same way that mended. what would you say are the key lessons that we've learned from this pandemic and is do they make us better prepared for the next one? well, we can hope so, and there's a conference happening right now in berlin with over 4000 experts talking exactly what we need to do. there's going to be a high level meeting at the united nations next year talking about how we can be better prepared. we are, we do a lot of work at the u. n. u university on gender, and we think including women's voices, community voices just from the start is one way we can be better prepared. putting

more women in leadership levels to think about how to respond to the pandemic. and also making sure and putting in place waivers for intellectual property, vaccine manufacturing facilities in low income countries. there are hundreds of lessons learned and we just need to act on them. danish, well, be a principal fellow at the united nations international institute for global health . thanks for being with us today. thank you so much. ah. it's been an unusual season in the buddhist leah with perennial champions by a minute so far, unable to assert themselves at the front of the pack. in recent weeks, union berlin had been the ones topping the table in only their 4th season in the division. but they turned, saw them hostile russia dockman on what would become a frustrating afternoon for the visitors when you and found themselves in an unfamiliar position. it's a visit of for we'll see,
